In addition to the above, which is totally true, some women actively served in or alongside the military of their country. For example, in the US, there was the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, or WAACs, and the British Auxiliary Territorial Service, or ATS. These were military forces where women could serve in support roles, like working telephones and other clerical jobs. ATS women even helped run anti-aircraft defenses.

In the Soviet Union, women often served as front-line soldiers, or as pilots and anti-aircraft gunners. Women also often served, in many countries, as nurses, doctors, and cooks. In Nazi Germany, women were sometimes hired to help run the concentration camps- one such woman is the subject of the book Der Vorleser, which was adopted into the 2008 movie The Reader (which is what "Der Vorleser" translates to in English).
