Women in war

There were many things that impacted women’s lives during World War I. Misogyny, dangerous working conditions, dealing with the loss of lover ones during the war, and having to look after a family on a low paying job are just some of the hard ships women faced during the war. This also came with many new learning experiences, new found confidence in their ability to maintain a job in the work force. As World War I began, many women realized that they would have to step up and fill the vacated…

where the men join the civil war, women took their part in assisting to the best they could. During the civil war men were going into battle and too many were being killed or dying while being there. Women stepped in and made a difference that wasn’t that well recognized. Women did a lot of work and made a huge impact on the way they assisted in the war. Even though they didn’t get much recognition they still did so much to help win the war. Union women assisted the civil war by getting…

Women were limited. A woman 's primary role was considered in the home. This was eminently believed, but World War II changed that. Working women were uncommon and were a threat for white males who worked in the same industry as they did. World War I was an opportunity for women to have “their foot inside the door and demonstrate [their abilities to get the job done]” (Dubois and Dumenil 516). That lasted for some time, and many returned to their societal views of a woman’s role as a housewife.…

Women were not always equal; they proved themselves worthy of being a true citizen of the United States in World War I. After countless months of helping the country and saving lives, a new respect was found for women and their abilities. Originally, the United States was neutral during World War I, but after German U-boats attacked American ships and Germany tried to ally itself with Mexico, President Wilson and the Congress declared war on Germany. Starting in 1917, the United States was a…

Women 's lives back in the 20 's and 40 's had a big difference within the time frame of the wars. They were the maids of the household when the men went off to work or to join the army. Women were prohibited to have jobs when married. Others thought that women were suitable for cleaning and cooking. As the war came women roles started to have a huge impact in World War 1 and World War 2. Before World War 1 started, women 's jobs weren 't a substantial aspect in the community. Women 's…

Roles of Women During WWII Look back on World War II, imagine you are a woman faced with a choice, a choice to answer the call of your country in need of you to step up, would you answer to the call? Women during World War II took on a big role in our country. They took on the roles that the men had to step down from to fight in the war. During the war there was a revolution in the work force. There is one front and one battle where everyone in the United States—every man, woman, and child—is…

1. Women in Science One of the more behind the scenes contributions of women during WWII was their developments in science. World War II was when US women with undergraduates in physics or engineering found work for the first time (McNeill 66). When women replaced the work of men they were often overqualified for the jobs and duties they performed (“Partners in Winning”). As Scientists, they experimented with new scale models of ships and planes, did experiments to learn how to preserve food…

in history, it can be easily argued that the role of women during World War II assisted in the process that led to the revolution in women’s rights. With men away at war, women took on full responsibility for running households, farms, and businesses. This would increase their involvement during the war leading to women being taken into account more as valuable members of society in the future. The countless roles that women had during the war would later assist them in gaining equal rights.…

The Civil War was a significant industrial war that resulted from conflicts between free states, which had already abolished slavery, and slave states, which were still using slavery, in both the North and the South during the year of 1861 to 1865. After the war started only one year, there were important groups of people who had participated as significant forces. These people were women and African-American. They were served as special volunteers and troops to support the government armies in…

their families. During WWI women had no choice then to work because they needed some way to feed and support their families. Also, the men were out fighting so someone had to do their jobs like making the weapons for the war. Secondly, new jobs were made for women to help them make money in an easer way. Jobs like secretaries, clerks, typists and factory workers were made especially for women during WWI. They could make money doing jobs they already did at home. In 1919 women also got the right…
