Answer:

Women replaced men as workers in factories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Women during the war began to work in factories as well as in war industries to support the troops and as the nation to fight in Europe. Women life changed as during the wartime job for women increased in heavy industry and production plants that had referred to men. As women began to work in industries they also demanded equal pay as men. In the end, the government issued The Equal Pay Act in 1963, allowing equal pay to both men and women at the same workplace and similar work.
