I'm not an expert on this topic, but the answer is pretty obvious. In Great Wars the workforce and resources become much more sought after to fuel the "war machine". The stigmas attached to women being able to work prior to WW2 greatly diminished as a great sense of nationalism emerged after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, which forced us into the War.
In short, the US had maintained a stance of Isolationism when dealing with the War, but after we were forced to become involved, we were immediately thrust into a conflict and many women had male relatives who were conscripted into service or volunteered, so in a sense they felt they still had an obligation to their brothers, and country. The Government supported this notion, and it was a chance for women to show how valuable they were to the workforce.
Hope that answered the question.
