“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.” –Adolf Hitler. In 1939, life was about to change as everyone knew it. WWII was just beginning and the whole world would be affected. Germany, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, France, and Russia have entered into a long and expensive journey. The Axis Powers and Allies knew what they were getting into, so they decided to come up with a way to get the citizens involved. Men and women played an important role in getting the support the country needed; they became poster designers. The poster designer’s job was to create posters that drew up certain beliefs about the enemies. These men and women became psychological
Society on both sides varied in terms of race, social class, and gender. This included both for African Americans and the general women population. Though women played an important role in the war as spies or nurses women were mostly discouraged in medical administration and military service. They had to prove whether they were worthy for the job by being able to withstand grisly conditions especially full of male strangers. Some women craved fighting which led to some incidences where women disguised as men to fight in the war; these were the “woman in battle”. Women did many other things other than medical work which included serving meals, sending letters to soldiers, and laundry. Nevertheless, women were mostly restricted from military service. They had to be highly skilled otherwise would be of no
World War II is when the women first started working for the pilots service. The woman wasn’t allowed to work for any service like that before. But when a special lady such as Eleanor Roosevelt convinced them to work for the service that all changed. They later figured out that there was a big help. 350,000 women was working for the service in the beginning of december. They also had their own branch. These women were very hardworking and important with the work they did. There service for the pilots was a success.
According to government records, there were 22,000 women in uniform when World War II ended and there were some 120,000 on active duty during the Korean War. Roughly one-third of them were health care providers. Female patriots volunteered for service in the Women's Army Corps (WAC), Women in the Air Force (WAF), Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service of Navy Women's Reserves (WAVES), and Women Marines. Those who were medical personnel served in Korea in Mobile Army Surgical Hospitals (MASH units), onboard hospital ships, in MEDEVAC aircraft, and in hospitals in Japan, Hawaii, and the USA that were receiving the wounded from Korea.
WWII was hard, and everyone needed to fight, including the women. As a result, women took over many jobs they had never been able to have. For example, women worked in the shops and factories, they did work at home, and they even fought in the war.
When WWII started, all of the men went off to fight, and left the women with the children, like they normally did. This time though, something had changed. So many men went off to fight, women had to go to work. They worked at factories, producing war materials, like bombs and uniforms. Some women took a step even further, and they went on to change the world.
Women played a significant role in the fight against WWII both on the home front, and in uniform. Women gave their sons, husbands, brothers and father away during this time period, but they also gave their lives, time, and energy. During World War II, women who were apart of the military would work as nurses, repair airplanes, drove military vehicles and even preformed clerical work to insure men were rested and ready for combat. Women who were not apart of the military took care of the their children, cleaned, cooked, and sewed. Although the “traditional female” still existed at this time, more women were changing the type of work they did. Over the course of 1940-1945, five million women joined the labor force.
The Women Airforce Service Pilots, also known as, WASPS, revealed themselves again and again, recording more than 60 million miles in more than 12,000 aircraft: the B-17s, B-24s, and P-51s Mustangs that helped win the war. But while other women involved in the war effort - the “Rosie the Riveters” and their like - lived on in our popular culture, after the war the WASPS
BANG!! A bullet flies out of the chamber a spark escaping the barrel. Imagine someone standing in a battle field. How many of you imagined a man? Well in world War II a lot of people in the war were women. Women in World War II played a pretty big role in the war.
World War II, the deadliest war in history, played a key role in the history of not only Britain, but the whole world.The war allowed new jobs, skills, and opportunities for many people. In World War II more than 50 million people lost their lives, among those people were men and women (“World War II Death Toll of All Nations”). People often times seem to neglect the fact that women were just as important to the war effort as men were, and only focus on how men were the soldiers. Women made the war possible. During World War II, women were often recognized for their contributions, but now when people refer to World War II, only men are acknowledged. Women were just as important as men in World War II because they played a key role in aiding
As we know World War II was one of the toughest war for America, with men going out to fight against the Axis power woman stayed behind worried whether or not their husbands, brothers, and cousins would come back home with life or in a casket dead. During those hard times, women didn't just stay home like before they out and took the roles that women had never taken before. So today I am here to show you how women helped in the war and how after the war they were treated
The enormity and global nature of World War I and World War II caused many minorities to get
There has been no better growth in the United States history than the period between the beginning of World War I and the end of World War II, where leaders and reforms in the nation shaped America as we know it today. Among Americans who experienced this period of trial and growth were women. The First World War brought about a series of positive changes within the United States, which would dramatically change the lives of women through the end of WWII, generating employment, suffrage, freedoms, and an importance to society.
World War II meant a decline in the economy and refraining from luxuries. The demand for supplies was a key factor in helping America win the war. Therefore, civilians were forced to sacrifice their nonessentials, with clothing and beauty products being the most difficult for women to eliminate from their lives. Therefore, women made efforts to keep fashion alive, even if it required endless creativity and thrifty tactics. Looking back on the war and how it sparked innovation and creativity, is shocking. Very few people would have expected the fashion industry to survive through World War II, let alone sky-rocket and change the way women dressed forever. Although women’s fashion was expected to fall along with the economy of World War II, the under-funded industry overcame the economic crisis against all odds. First, the pressure to conserve materials for the war guided women toward a more thrifty wardrobe. Secondly, women who took over the workforce changed their fashion styles for the sake of safety and practicality. Lastly, Cosmetics were re-designed to boost morale and allow women to express their femininity to counteract the masculine and man-like duties that women fulfilled during the war.
In this article written back during WWII, it list men that didn’t want to have women for the draft or the nurse, cause if you were the one to come out and say women should, and if something bad happens it’s on you. So nobody came out until a large group of men came out saying that we need all the men to serve while the women nurse them back to health. So they agreed and they made an agreement during WWII that women should always be as far as possible away from the fight itself. The source fits because that’s where it all started during WWII the trouble between men and women and where women should have to sign up but they came to a compromise. I can use this source for my paper in so many way i can use it for history and current events right
During the time of World War II, minorities were needed to step up during this time of conflict. One minority that had a direct impact within America during the war was the women. Before the war, women were seen within American society as housewives, who’s purpose was to tend to both the house and the family. While women took care of the house and family, the men who could find work, worked in industries which helped America function. Come World War II, the men were sent to fight overseas, resulting in an empty workforce. To prevent both the economy and the war effort from collapsing, women had to step up and take the jobs previously done by men. The actions of the women helped supply the war effort, and helped boost the economy. Post World
