Yes but they were not recruided to fight.
Women were recruited to the military during World War II to fill critical roles as men were deployed to combat. They served in various capacities, including administrative, logistical, and support roles, which were essential for maintaining military operations. Organizations like the Women's Army Corps (WAC) and the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) allowed women to contribute to the war effort, thus freeing men for frontline duty. This recruitment not only helped address personnel shortages but also marked a significant shift in women's societal roles and perceptions.
