Many things took place on these home fronts, Everyone had to do their part to support the brave troops fighting in the war. For example, the role of women increased as volunteers began to desert their businesses to serve in the war.

The Effect of Women on the Outcome of World War Two World War II effected women tremendously by taking them out of their comfort zones and chucking them into the work force and pushing them to do most of the work men normally would have been doing. The war also effected women by providing opportunities for them to serve in non-traditional roles; in fact, some of them enlisted into the military to serve the United States. The way the war effected women is that they had to take care of family in addition to performing work normally done by men. It was difficult to find people to watch after kids which made life during this time very difficult. After the end of World War II society in general was effected considering the baby boom.

They used the values they learned through their experiences to raise strong families. They learned important values such as hard work, determination, and the importance of money. Other values like trust, compassion, sacrifice, and strength through adversity defined their lifestyle as well.

Before WWI, women were restricted to traditionally feminine jobs. Their work was considered inferior and they were paid less than men. However, once WWI began, women were able to integrate themselves into a variety of different workforces. Since most men were off to serve in the military and navy, women that stayed behind replaced their positions in factories and other industries. Other women worked closely with the military as nurses or even soldiers.

American Women during World War 2 had many responsibilities at war, work, and home. But they did not have many equal rights compared to the rest of the society. The women’s rights and responsibilities topic is very interesting. One is understanding and knowing the history about the responsibilities women had to do and how hard working they were.

Women veterans’ use of the VA system has seem to have doubled in the last few years which has showcased the needs and preferences of women veterans.

A Doll’s House should really be taught in schools because of the lessons that are taught. For instance, one should learn how modern day is way different from the time period of the book. They should know that society has changed a lot in time and still continues to change. There is still lots of progress that should be made. Students need to see this especially being the young adults that they are and most about to head out into the world in a few years.
