Home Front during World War II (jan 1, 1942 – jan 1, 1945)
Description:
As women were instrumental in supporting the war from home, their roles changed quite significantly. Women began to take industrial jobs to fill in for men that were fighting in the war (as exemplified by the cultural icon Rosie the Riveter), and they found higher-level employment opportunities in areas such as medicine, business, and law.
