It is difficult to answer this question without knowing which war you are asking about. There were women who contributed to a number of wars, in the US and in other countries. For example, in World War II, women who worked in the factories making munitions and war supplies were often referred to as "Rosie the Riveter." Many sources say she was a real woman named Rose Will Monroe. Another important woman who contributed to the war effort was Jacqueline Cochrane-- she was a pilot, and she flew supplies to the troops, as part of a women's aviation corps called the WASPs. And another important woman was Kate Smith-- she didn't fight, but as an entertainer (a very popular singer in that era), she raised millions for war bonds, and did a number of benefit concerts to support the troops.

Many women of all kinds and from all social strata contributed to the huge war effort. - My mother was almost finished training to be a teacher and she became an ambulance driver for the duration.
