women
women Women had always been part of American war efforts, but World War II was different. Previously, women’s part in effors to sustain the military hadn’t liberated them from their usual resposibilities; traditionally women took part in supporting the men during the war by cooking, nursing, sewing, etc. However, World War II was a different kind of war, it was a war powered by the products of an increasingly industrializes society. The weopons of war were no longer consisting of swords and horses and rifles, they now consisted of increasingly complex tanks, planes, boats, and other machinery. In a successful war effort more production was necessary. Women came from all over to work in factories. Women were were given crash courses in safty and production and were pushed and worked harder and faster than the men who worked before them, but as soon as the war was over and soldiers began to return home, the open jobs for women were weeded out once again. The government had to ‘demobilize’ the woman workforce to make room for the returning men. Women were lured into marriages and family by masses of returning GIs, suburbs with low intrest home loans, and new tax cuts for dependent children. For many of the women, it went back to a one income family wage, men being the bread winners. For the women who did work, it was back to clerical, nursing, library and teaching jobs. Bibliography:
