I'm assuming you are referring to World War II. I only have anecdotal information so take it as it is.
Based on what my Grandparents have told me (living in Germany), women were required to take many positions traditionally occupied by men. At the time, this meant just about everything from delivering the Post, harvesting crops, making weapons and household items etc. I assume this was similar in allied countries where many men were killed, not just in Europe.
After the war, many women felt like their role in society had become more substantial, and were reluctant to return to their submissive roles as assistants and housewives. This empowerment really fueled the feminist movement (again), and was incredibly valuable as it demonstrated the ability of women to take jobs that were previously thought to be "men's work".
