women started to do those kinds off words that only men were supposed to do earlier. They started to work in factories, offices, ran small businesses etc.
Gaining new opportunities and jobs
300,000 women served in World War 2 in both the military, the Red Cross, the USO, and in civilian jobs. Most of them were in the military.
Most people believed that women were not good enough to do the jobs that were meant for men such as builders etc. These jobs were filled by women during WW1 and this was a huge step forward in the rights for women.
Most of them were housewives. But during World War ll, they took their husband's factory jobs.
Women had the most tedious jobs, children had the most dangerous jobs, and both were paid less than men.
Since the men came home the Women were expected to give up their jobs. There were not enough jobs for all women and men so the men got the jobs and women didn't get any jobs.
Most likely women did not have jobs in Athens. Only in Sparta were women allowed to have jobs, most of were owning shops.

A lot of women took jobs in factories, making planes and other war materials. Most of the jobs that were occupied by men before the war were filled by women. This was the beginning of the "revolution" of women into the workforce.
Most the women during WWII took their husbands jobs because they still had to feed their family even though their husbands were away at war. Most women had no spare time.
During World War 1, women first moved into the civilian jobs abandoned by men, such as shop clerks and factory workers. Women did most of the jobs in the Post Office in Washington D.C. The war effort itself involved women mainly as nurses and other medical workers. After the war women were not about to return to the farms. Without their labor available, Mr. Henry Ford made a fortune selling his tractors mechanizing farms. The women who had been liberated by their jobs during the war became the flappers of the roaring twenties.
