The Women's Army Corps was a place where women could serve during World War II.


What is the difference between the women's groups SPARS and WAVES in World War 2?

The SPARS were the U.S. Coast Guard's women's auxiliary. The name came from the short version of Semper Paratus (always prepared). The WAVES were the U.S. Navy's women's branch-- I think it stood for Women Accepting Volunteer Emergency Service. Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers (R:MA) was one of the strongest champions of letting women serve in the military during World War 2, and it was largely through her efforts that a bill was passed to create a women's branch of the military. And while the jobs available to women were mostly clerical and support jobs, many women eagerly volunteered to serve their country.

What country used women during World War 2?

Some woman were in the French Resistance. And many women served in the Soviet Red Army (russian army) And no women served in the U.S. army. In Britain, the U.S. and many Allied countries women did serve in the armed forces in World War 2 but not in a combat role. The Soviet Union was unusual in having women in combat. Obviously, in the case of resistance movements, the distinction between combat roles and others may be blurred.

When were women allowed to go to war?

Women have participated in warfare in various capacities throughout history, but formal acceptance in military roles varied by country and conflict. During World War I, many nations began to allow women to serve in non-combat roles, such as nursing and support positions. It wasn't until World War II that women were more widely integrated into military forces, with some countries allowing them to serve in combat roles. In modern times, many countries have fully integrated women into all aspects of military service, including combat positions.
