Description

The Second World War changed how the United States saw women's roles.

Not only could women work, they could do work that men did.

They could work in homes and hospitals, but they could also work in offices and factories.

They could sew and cook, but they could also weld and rivet.

As American men went to fight the war, American women even followed them into the service.

They formed the WAC, the WAVES, and other women's groups to help win the war. "Women Go to Work 1941--1945" is the story of the women of World War II.

Whether they stayed home and wrote letters while they tried to keep the farm going, or they marched off to the factory to make airplanes and bullets, their lives changed.

They had to change because the world around them was changing, and they had to meet the challenge.
