Women led the war effort during WWII. While most of the men were off fighting in different theaters across the globe, the women took up men's jobs and kept their homeland running. Some worked in factories producing supplies for the troops, inspired by the fictional poster icon Rosie the Riviter. They rationed their own food and goods so that the troops could be well fed.
