It did not, since there was no Feminist Movement in the 1940's. Only a Patriotic Movement. Actually, the ongoing feminist movement that began during WWI was greatly progressed during WWII. Most of the factories and labor jobs had to hire women (Rosie the Riveter) because the men were overseas. Daycare centers were created so that the women could work day-long jobs to support the war effort. While women already had suffrage by the start of WWII, they still had little respect from most of society, but their involvement in the factories to support the war brought them great recognition. However, once the war ended and the men returned home, the men felt threatened by their newly working, independent women, and forced them back into the stereotypical female role...hence the "Susie Homemaker" ideology of the 1950's.
They stopped campaigning for the right to vote and started to help contribute to the war effort by working in munitions factories. They stopped campaigning for the right to vote and started to help contribute to the war effort by working in munitions factories.
The war had a profound effect on suffrage politics. The declaration of war saw the WSPU declare peace with the Liberal government. There was "no point in continuing to fight for the vote when there might be no country to vote in", Emmeline Pankhurst said.
The WSPU suspended suffragette activities and called upon its membership to support the war effort. The Pankhursts became extremely nationalistic. They saw it in very simple terms - the goodies v the baddies, a battle between enlightened democracy and autocratic militarism. It was feminine Britain versus masculine Germany. The war gave a chance for the WSPU and its members to abandon violent methods, to demonstrate patriotic loyalty and to ultimately deserve the vote. The WSPU placed its organisation and funds at the government's disposal. The government was desperate to recruit women as from 1915 there was a great labour shortage. By February 6th 1918, eight million women were enfranchised.
Women already had the vote when ww2 began. Well, in the US we did. So it did not influence the movement at all.
I wonder if meant ww1 or women's rights. B)
It didn’t. Women went back to the house and raising children after the war. It will be 40 years before there is a women’s movement.
They advocated for women to work outside the home in a paid job.
During World War II, women enjoyed high pay and benefits. However, the tables were turned after the war and they returned to the lower pay. This cause a feminist movement that actually changed the laws of Australia.
