Answer:

The war greatly changed the role of women in the American society before, during, and after the war. Before the war, women were manly house wives that stayed home and took care of the house. When the men left to go fight, the men left their jobs and there was no income for the house so the women had to go find jobs. This would of been very hard for that family's that had children. During the war, our army required more people to come and help fight and women were very available to come and help. They manly took over the baking and cooking duties but some were put into the Airforce and into the medical field. A lot were put into the industrial part of America to make weapons and supplies that would go into the war. After the war, America noticed that women are very valuable and useful and we started to allow them to do more stuff. But we still have some problems with woman's rights.
