Basically because the male population in every family was at war, ladies needed the money to run their house. So they got out learned essential skills to perform a job and got jobs at many public places which brought up their status or position in society.

More So than in previous wars, US women had increased responsibilities in the family and in the economy. Women went to work in jobs previously held by men, and made many financial and social decisions on their own.

Part of the change came because men were shipped off to war, and women were called into the workplace. They were also responsible for the home front. After the war, however, women were expected to 'return to the home.'
