Answer:

Wartime necessity, women joined the workforce

Step-by-step explanation:

Many countries at the time discouraged women from working because it was seen as a man's role. Once the war started however, many countries allowed women to join the workforce as riveters, etc. to build things like planes, ships, tanks, and ammunition. After the war, women realized they could work and support themselves like men did, and many stayed in the workforce.
