My Findings!
According to website 1, the women actually contributed greatly to the war effort. "American women played important roles during World War II, both at home and in uniform. Not only did they give their sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers to the war effort, they gave their time, energy, and some even gave their lives." (Website 1) Women had a vast amount of new job opportunities to pursue, while the men fought in the war. "women on the Home Front worked in defense plants and volunteered for war-related organizations, in addition to managing their households."(Website1). Some women also fought in the war, just as the men did. "Nearly 350,000 American women served in uniform, both at home and abroad, volunteering for the newly formed Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAACs, later renamed the Women’s Army Corps), the Navy Women’s Reserve (WAVES), the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve, the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve (SPARS), the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPS), the Army Nurses Corps, and the Navy Nurse Corps." Like I said before, women were very important during WWII because of all the jobs they took over, but they also helped directly. "flew military aircraft across the country, test-flew newly repaired planes, and even trained anti-aircraft artillery gunners by acting as flying targets. Some women served near the front lines in the Army Nurse Corps, where 16 were killed as a result of direct enemy fire." (Website1).
Website 2 is very similar to website 1, both share the same ideas and facts about the women in wwII. This article shares a little twist in it; it describes how after the war the women were not credited fairly. "women at the end of World War Two, found that the advances they had made were greatly reduced when the soldiers returned from fighting abroad." (Website 2) It hadn't changed at all when the men came back, the women were probably expecting a parade for their courageousness and steadfastness. Instead, they were forced to leave their jobs, because equality was not heard of back then. "At the end of World War Two, those women who had found alternate employment from the normal for women, lost their jobs. The returning soldiers had to be found jobs and many wanted society to return to normal. Therefore by 1939, many young girls found employment in domestic service - 2 million of them, just as had happened in 1914. Wages were still only 25p a week."(Website 2). It wasn't a complete the disaster though because 1928 a law was passed which stated that any person over 21 could vote- male and female. "However, between the wars, they had got full voting equality with men when in 1928 a law was passed which stated that any person over the age of 21 could vote - male and female.The war once again gave women the opportunity to show what they could do."(Website 2)
Website 3 gives more important background details of the american women in WWII. In the beginning, women were discouraged from helping out in the war effort, "At first the government politely discouraged those women who wanted to perform some kind of military service."(Website 3) However lester on the United States ended up deciding that they would need women, because the war was very costly. "It soon became clear that the war was going to demand much more than the government had expected. Women could do the technical jobs normally performed by men, freeing those men for combat." (Website 3) Women even helped out in the actual military, but only because the u.s. was so desperate. "As the situation became more desperate, some women were called on to serve overseas, particularly in New Guinea. They worked on observation posts and as anti-aircraft gunners, drivers, mechanics, and radio operators." (Website 3) This site is the same as the others, saying that women were needed to help out in the war effort. My answer, "What role did American women play in WWII" (Website 3) women helped by working in jobs, tested military items, and even fought in the war itself.
