What did the women do after the World War 2?

Answer 1

In the war the women sacrificed their men and many lost their sons, fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews and cousins. Some lost their daughters, mothers, sisters, aunts, nieces and cousins. But they did find was after the war to succeed and cope.

Women worked as nurses, switchboard operators, secretaries and receptionists, in businesses like clothing stores, or places like Woolworth's, Newberry's, Grant's and other stores needing women clerks. The really young ones would work at soda counters, movie theaters or as babysitters. Some women ran boarding homes or childcare businesses. Some worked in the entertainment field or as models.

In later decades women became professional women and even executives of large companies.

The women who were widowed often went to live with relatives or got jobs like I described above.

The women world wide learned they had ability, smarts and power. They found they did not have to be just "housewives" and could survive without their husbands if they had to.

Answer 2

Most of them went back to being stay at home moms or new wives. Many single ladies went to college or found other work that was not war work or man's work.
