women worked in factories of all kinds and even played pro baseball.
They saved fat from their lunch and dinner, so the army could make bombs and smoke gas etc. NO! That's actually mean? not funny. Women played a big role in the War. most jobs would get replaced by what the men did. Mostly, there were nurses after the war!
Women's lives changed considerably. They were alone in the household as their men went off to war. They went to work in the textile mills and factories. Instead of making clothes and household goods, they made parachutes and military uniforms/boots. They worked in machine shops for war supplies, played baseball and still raised the kids. Women's roles changed so dramatically, they never returned to Pre-WW2 status.

Women were not allowed to act. Young men played the parts of women.
In Shakespeare's own era, it was deemed highly improper for women to act in plays, so the parts were played by men, in particular slim, young boys whose voices hadn't yet changed.By the Restoration of the Monarchy (1660), the tradition was dropped, and actresses appeared on the English stage, although some parts, such as the nurse in Romeo and Juliet and the witches in Macbeth were still played by men for comic effect.
