Congress authorized the Women's Auxiliary Corps in May of 1942.
During World War II, women were encouraged to join the workforce and take on roles traditionally held by men, as many men were away fighting. They worked in factories, shipyards, and munitions plants, often symbolized by the iconic "Rosie the Riveter." Additionally, women served in various military branches, such as the WAC (Women's Army Corps) and WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), contributing to the war effort in non-combat positions. This shift marked a significant change in societal norms regarding women's roles in both the workforce and the military.
The United STATES!!! w00T!!!!
In many nations women were encouraged to join female branches of the women's self-esteem as it allowed them to carry out their full potential and do their part. Women replaced men in many of the roundhouse jobs during World War II.

When women were allowed to join the military, they were placed on the battlefield as nurses, just as they had been during the Civil War era. The U.S. Military also created branches such as the WAC, or Womens Air Corp. Women performed flying duties around the American borders so that more men were available on the front. There's women were known as WASPs.

It is most critical for our military to have, Men and women can both serve their country in each branch of the military.
The age for everyone to join the military is 17, but for all of the branches you need a high school diploma. The Army sent me a letter saying they can take you in with a 10th grade education but you still need to be 17. Women were permanently allowed to join the military in the late 1940's.
