After the loss of family, perhaps sons and husbands, to the war,obviously there was a great amount of depression and sadness. Women also took on many male roles during WW2. Such as farming, working in large factorys and in some cases building, to restore damage done by air-raids. Not only were the women full time workers they were also full time mothers to any younger children they may have. I think the real question is, 'how did women cope during the war?'. Alot of restrictions were also given during that time, which effected anyone at home. Small ammounts of food and materials were given to families monthly. There were not enough people to work the factories, so all clothing was mostly hand-made. This was yet another job took on by females. Hope this has helped a little :)

The Japanese Americans however (since Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and was there enemy) were treated with disrespect and put into camps. They were unfairly treated by America during this period.

The war accelerated a trend toward white-collar employment for women.
