Role Of Wartime Women
"I think a lot of women said, Screw that noise. 'Cause they had a taste of freedom, they had a taste of making their own money, a taste of spending their own money, making their own decisions. I think the beginning of the women's movement had its seeds right there in World War Two."

Thesis Statement
During the six years of World War II, American women stepped up to help the war effort both in uniform and by joining the industrial workforce. Since women were needed to fill many traditional male jobs and roles during the war, they took initiative in taking up responsibilities and eventually gained more rights.
