Answer:

Women typically took over men's jobs.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the duration of World War II, the US government called for the American women to do their part in the war, such as saving material needed for the war effort and recycling them, as well as working in factories. They also were asked to be used as nurses in the front if needed.

The effect of this when the men came back from the war, was that many ladies did not want to go back to be "home-owners", and would rather work away from home as well. This led to them trying to 'take' men's jobs away, and led to the women's movement for the right to work outside.
