Wartime affected white women in the north and south by forcing them to take responsibility for their homes and families. Many women were overseeing large plantations and trying to keep family farms running.
During WWII, over 6 million women took wartime jobs in factories or filling in for men on farms, 3 million women volunteered with the Red Cross, and over 200,000 women served the military. so obviously women were in someway getting more opportunities to work. Granted they were not getting paid a fair wage, but they were able to put food on the table. And as a far as opportunities to work and in some areas the equality they were looking for gave a huge jump form before.
Many men and women in all branches of the military return home with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This means that the extreme situations they witnessed or were a part of were beyond the normal range of one's ability to cope.
Many women took jobs that fell outside the traditional realm of women's work.
