Women: Patriotism And Propaganda In Second World War

IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF SOURCES

The focus of this investigation will be “To what extent was the cause of the switch of men to women being in the work force and face of propaganda in World War II?” Men were faced to go to war and women had to stay behind and essentially, do the job that the men had left behind.
