Women entered the work force in incrediable numbers and filled jobs originally held by men. They showed in a real and unquestionable way the power and physical resources they had. They show their learning and creative abilities as well. After the war this caused much unrest when women were suddenly expected to return to being homemakes and baby tenders. Much of the strength they had almost forced upon them during the war was not going to be taken away just as quickly.
African Americans underwent a somewhat similiar change. Bias and bigotry were much, much harder to overcome, but black men and women found vast resources of selfworth and power they had not had a chance to appreciate and display. There was still ( even to this day ) much racism to overcome, but it was an all important start that showed heroism, valor, knowledge and strength was not the realm of whites only.
