During World War II, women working in munition factories in the United States were typically paid between $15 to $25 per week, which was often higher than what many women earned in traditional jobs before the war. This pay was generally less than what their male counterparts earned for similar work, reflecting broader gender wage disparities of the time. The increased wages represented a significant economic shift for many women, who contributed to the war effort while also gaining greater financial independence.
Fighter jets bombed the munition depot. Soldiers stormed the munition barracks, only to discover they had invaded the women's shower facilities.
why are many factory workers women or children
During World War I and II, women working in munition factories typically worked long hours, often ranging from 10 to 12 hours a day. This was especially true during peak production periods when the demand for munitions was high. The working conditions were often challenging, as they had to meet stringent production targets while ensuring safety in hazardous environments. The significant contributions of women in these factories were crucial to the war efforts.

The Factory Acts were a series of acts put into place by the Parliament to limit the number of working hours to women and children.

The Triangle Factory fire is a factory that was burned down by a careless woman smoking a cigarette and burned down the factory while having about 200 teenage and adult women in the building that were killed by the fire because the owners of the factory had the doors Locked so the women could not quit and leave. It was important because that is what started the women's labor laws, which is to let women have more pay , safer working environment's, teaching women how to escape fires, and to keep the doors of the work area unlocked in case of another factory fire.
