I'm not racist OR sexist, but lets put it this way. If the Americans just BARELY let WHITE WOMAN work in warehouses, and BLACK MEN fight in UN-SEGRAGATED platoons, where do you think BLACK WOMEN were in this? No offense, but i truly don't think they played a role in WW2.

A quick perusal of search engines shows there's not a lot of information immediately available about the contribution of African American Women in WWII. I would like to at least say, though, that they did contribute. I have spoken first-hand with an African American woman who was in the Army during WWII. She stated they turned her down repeatedly but she worried at them so much that they finally said "fine," and put her in a battalion based in D.C. with 13 other black women. Also, they didn't work only in warehouses. Per this lady, they saw front-line action regularly.

I wish I could provide a better answer. Maybe (hopefully) there's more information about these amazing women hidden in a book somewhere.

How did life change for African Americans and women during World War 2?

During World War II, life for African Americans and women underwent significant changes as both groups took on new roles in the workforce and military. African Americans migrated in large numbers to industrial centers for war-related jobs, challenging racial segregation and discrimination, which laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement. Women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, filling roles traditionally held by men, and organizations like the Women's Army Corps were established, allowing them to serve in military capacities. These shifts not only contributed to the war effort but also changed societal perceptions, paving the way for future advancements in civil rights and gender equality.
