Best Answer

During WWII, women in the United States went to work in the defense industry because the men were off fighting the war. They left the kitchen for the aircraft assembly line. They did many of the jobs that men did - they riveted, packed munitions, learned to pilot and trained others to pilot. When he war was over, most went back to housewife, but many others did not. American women had learned to go to work.

As other people saw how much the Jews were suffering, most people agreed that no kind of person should be treated that way no matter what race they are from. This influenced the struggle for racial equality as it brought up the idea of racism being unfair.
