Hey! I’ve written an article for my english/history class and would like some people to read through it and grammar check/ give criticism before I turn it in. It is supposed to be an article for a school newspaper written from the perspective of a high schooler in the 1940s about the war.
“It is difficult to comprehend the scale of the impact that the current war has had on the world today. In particular, it seems as tho women have not only been affected by the war, but also have contributed significantly to the war effort in America.
Currently women are 60% of the total workforce, as men were fighting on the front lines. Because men are on the front lines, women have had to step up and fill the shoes of the men, taking up jobs that were previously considered unsuitable for them. It is inspiring to see how women are integral to the economic and societal progress of the war.
Currently struggles faced by women are not limited to just the workplace, but also dealing with the societal and emotional turmoil brought about by the War. Many women have lost their husbands, fathers, and brothers. The loss of the male figures in a family is hard; having had to deal with the financial and emotional impact simultaneously.
Despite these challenges, women have stepped up to contribute significantly to the war effort and support their fellow countrymen, who are risking their lives on the front lines. Women are working to produce arms and ammunition, taking up jobs in the factories, and providing essential support to the troops. Also, the women working in intelligence and the Armed Forces will play a significant role in turning the tides of the war. Women who work in aircraft maintenance, nursing, telecommunications, and other essential services also play an instrumental role in ensuring the success of the U.S. forces.
Because of all of this, it is clear women are not only dealing with societal, emotional, and economic struggles, but also are stepping up to support their fellow countrymen. The contributions of women shall not go unnoticed or dismissed, but later will prove how they were crucial to the success of the Allied Forces. Despite the many challenges faced, women have continued to give their all and prove that they can overcome adversity. The women currently contributing to war efforts have showed us that the world holds no limitations for women when it comes to fulfilling their roles in overcoming challenges in society.”
