I think this is what let the door open,for women in uniform;It was the year of;1941 or 42: I remember it well, because I was in charge of the control tower at CUDDIHY FIELD(sqd 12-B)it was a time when the blacks and women were excepted' in the Navy at the same time. My commanding officer asked which I wanted to work for me? I took neither one ,as my assistant and I had things in control, for max pilot training and only previously trained,could be used. They worked out good for nurses aids.
Women got the right to vote and to work in factories, and also they were allowed, or not looked down on, for wanting to fight in WWII. They were allowed jobs as; armorers, mechanics, fitters, and welders. And in May 1944 they were being sent to combat areas in Europe to train for combat although didn't actually fight for a couple more decades. And they were allowed into the air force, a they went from 11 women to 50 in February 1943. Also women played a role in the naval service. This is the most honest answer you will get.
the role of women changed immensly after world war two. As the soldiers returned, women were made redundant from their jobs, and men were able to take their old ones back. All over the country, what women had feared would happen after the war, was happening. The role of women decreased, and they saw a shift into the household once again. The governmental propoganda made sure that this would happen.
Women's roles in World War II;;
Since their husbands had to be shipped off to fight, their jobs were to be;;
- in the military
- in support services
- in factories back home
- in concentration camps
- keeping the home fires burning.
To keep their husbands from starving
there was that but it also depends on where the women lived like in Canada during ww1 & 2 they had tax credits and some could vote
they changed because many women protested against having to do normal old house work and they wanted to do something important like men. they would make themselves suffer to prove them selves right like tying them selves to railings or getting dragged by a horse while tied up- it was terrible but eventually worth because they won the battle and began to have womens rights aswell as mens. womens rights still happen today for example letting women vote in elections.
During WWII, women left the home and took on the jobs normally done by men, and worked in the war factories (and other factories) while the men fought the war. This was simply out of necessity. They performed extremely well in jobs formerly performed by men and they enjoyed it. After the war the men returned and the women were sent home again. However, they had tasted the satisfaction and freedom of managing to perform jobs that were traditionally performed by men and their parameters were expanded. Women began to apply for non-traditional jobs which they had proved they were capable of performing well.
When the US entered the war in 1941, millions of men were drafted to go and fight overseas. Suddenly, jobs that were previously held by men and were thought to be suitable only for men, were vacant. Suddenly, society's attitude about women in the workforce changed-- but in reality, this was not the first time. During the "Roaring Twenties," a number of women had entered fields such as law, business, medicine, and even politics, which had historically been considered "men's jobs." Then, in the 1930s, the messaging changed, because it was the Great Depression: women were told to leave those jobs and stay at home, so that men who had a family to support could have an easier time finding work.
Now, in the early 1940s, once again women were told to step up and enter the workforce, in such non-traditional occupations as radio station engineers and announcers; mechanics and technicians at factories; and skilled tradesmen such as plumbers or auto repairmen. Women also entered the military in support roles, joining the newly created Women's Army Corps, and even flying supplies to the fighting men in Europe. Women were praised for doing these jobs; there were songs written about them and numerous magazines published articles about how women were helping the US to win the war. By all accounts, the women in these non-traditional occupations performed admirably, often under stressful circumstances. And yet, once the war ended, they were again expected to give up their jobs and return to being homemakers, so that the men coming back from the war could have their old jobs back.
It was partially to help change the role of women, it definately did help their cause though after they told the men they were fedup about how they were treated
Women started to work in the mans jobs and tasted the first tast of time out of the house.
How and why did the role of women change after ww1 ?
any job that was free but mainly a medic
Women played a largly logistic and medicinal role in the actual army, but there were some women fighters and a large amount of women went to work in the now empty factories.
The right to vote.
They were accepted
Rachel In the early 1900
It most certainly did. It brought more women into the work force as well as into the military both of which had a dramatic change to the more docile 'Suzie Homemaker' sterotype role of women.
