Mainly nures.

Now I am not a historian or anything but I have learned a significant amount about ww2 over the years. Women's primary role was support, as women were not authorized to be in combat. Broadly speaking they filled the roles of nurses and administrative personel. Be sure to relaize how hugely important their contribution was, I mean so many more people would have died and the war could not even function without their efforts.

After the end of WWII, GEN Douglas MacArthur was assigned the mission of over seeing the government of Japan, much like a military governor. One of the new laws that the "military governor" made, was that Japanese women were to be given the same status as American women in the United States.

Some were nurses. There are alot of books and stories of Japanese comfort women which were sex slaves during the war. Also many had to evacuate their homes and even cities.
