Role of Women

When the men went off to fight for the first time the American/Canadian Governments asked the women to help their Nations by working in the plants and other industries while the men were off fighting the war. That they did! That's where the American "Rosie the Riveter" came from. They helped build planes, worked in munitions plants, packed parachutes, became secretaries in the Corps, etc. The big mistake the governments made was when the men came back from war and the women were basically told to go back home to their ironing and cleaning house and the men got their jobs back! The women for the first time had a taste of working and they knew they were better than just staying home and scrubbing, cleaning, looking after kids and keeping their mouths shut. They fought back, and some did get jobs and every generation is proving that women are quite capable of doing many jobs and holding high positions in corporations. Women today are scientists, doctors, lawyers, etc.

How was the role of women in the family changed since World War 2?

Since World War II, the role of women in the family has undergone significant transformation. During the war, many women entered the workforce to fill roles left vacant by men who were serving, which helped shift societal perceptions about women's capabilities and independence. Post-war, while some women returned to traditional domestic roles, the feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s further advanced women's rights, leading to greater participation in education and the workforce. Today, women often balance careers and family responsibilities, with evolving gender norms encouraging shared parenting and household duties.


What was the role of women in the 1920s?

During the 1920s (1918-1929), after the World War I, is the age when the role of women had changed from passive to active in society. Women were much more than just looking after their children and doing housework at home. They began to work outside and attend school. They had become more independent both financially and literally.
