While men were off fighting World War 2, women got to experience a working life as they filled in for the men in the meantime. The fight for equal rights between the sexes is known as feminism which continued to grow through protests and petitions during this time period. When the men returned from war, they expected their jobs back and instead returned to empowered women making moves to be treated equally

Though women worked during world war 2, when the men returned they wanted their jobs back and kicked the women out of the workforce when they returned home. However I feel that women are just as equal as men and some are even stronger and can bare more labor than some men. If women could handle the struggle of the workforce while the men were gone at work then they can still handle it when they come back and should be given equal rights as men.

With a brutal battle with many lives lost in countless minutes the second world war wasn't going to come out the same way it did with out women. These women would take the place of many men while they went off to war, showing that women didn't always have to be in the house but could make money and becoming better lives for them.

[T] Throughout the 20th Century, women were paid less than men, had less control than men, and were treated unequally; women realized they needed change and so started the rise of women's rights movement.

Throughout all of history women have always played an important role in running the home life and tending to the children but were never allowed to do much more. Although women began to get more rights during the era of the women's rights movement, they were still subject to gender discrimination in ways such as being under payed for doing the same job, receiving inferior business positions because of their sex as well as being held to the irrational expectations created through pageants such as the Miss America Pageant.

Throughout the 1900s, there were social changes happening. It started mainly when the U.S. entered WWII after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Women took over the workforce for the men going off to fight in the war. When the war was over, there was an increase of women joining the workforce Unfortunately, there were factors limiting women to do so. For instance, they are getting paid less. Also, to men, women were looked as less powerful and seemed unfit to do the same jobs that a man does. This led to women wanting change, so they could have the same opportunities as a man.

During the world war many women realized how they were equal to men and could do the same job as them and began to question why they weren't offered the same chances in life as men such as education, the right to vote, and to have a choice in what their work would be because at this point many women were only allowed to work as teachers or they weren't allowed to work at all. So as the world war had ended they held their jobs that they filled for the men who had served in the war.  After they had discovered they were begin payed less than men who were doing more remedial they began to boycott in peaceful ways such as using leaflets and picketing industries that wouldn't pay women the same as men.

During world war 2, women started to integrate into the workplace. As they worked they began to like their jobs and felt that they had gained some of their rights they so greatly desired. However after the war was over they were expected to return home returning the breadwinner position back over to the men. This had a dramatic affect on women and they began to rise up and began the women civil rights movement of the 1940's in which they claimed they were equal to the men. They wanted equal rights to the men, to be able to work with them and to hold job positions that were so called "Only suitable for men". This lead to women pursuing higher and higher roles in this society of reconstruction and advancement.

The opening of job positions to women in world war 2 lead to them recognizing that they are equal workers to men.  It also meant that they had more political representations due to composing a larger portion of the work force. When the war ended it lead to them not wanting to relinquish they jobs to men returning from war.soon after that large numbers of women were joining the pre-existing, but small, women's rights movement and were protesting the other unequal treatments in the workplace such as less payment and worse conditions. Overall the rise of womens rights movements was caused by women comprising the work force which gave them more political representation, not wanting to give up the ability to work, and realizing the many injustices and inequalities put upon them

Throughout history women have played an important role in every era. As time continued their role started to get bigger and bigger. They realized that they were capable of completing the work tasks men were getting paid for. They did those jobs just as well as the men yet got paid substantially less. They began to rally together to receive the equal treatment they deserved for doing the same work as men.

Due to the increase of the female workforce throughout wwII and a rejection of the unfair wages that came with that work as well as the rejection of the classic american woman image, the American feminist movement that called for women's rights reached a peak in the early 70s that led to reform and change throughout the country.

Throughout the early twentieth century, women were involved in a majority of jobs because of the increase of men in the battlefield. {They realized the difference of pay between genders and inequality between them.} Political and social reforms, such as the women's rights movement led them to achieve an equal social status.

Women prior to the 1940's resigned themselves to lives as housewives. However, during WWII, as women joined the workforce, a desire for change resonated deeply in women, and the rise of the women's rights movement was born. This was, in part, due to their joining the workforce, as well as a want for societal equality and the momentum of other civil rights movements at the time.

Throughout World War 2, American women were first introduced to the workforce, while most of the men were off fighting. After, they still helped out in the factories to provide money for their families. Though they eventually realized that they were earning less then male workers. From this there was a rise in women's rights for a equal pay for both genders because women were working just as long and hard in the same jobs the men were doing, but getting paid less.

Despite the fact women had finally gained the long overdue right to be part of the labor force and were granted suffrage in the 20th century there was still a long way to go in order for women to be equal in a dominantly male driven society.

During World War 2, a majority of women took up jobs in factories for the war effort; however, afterwards, they were expected to go back to the home and let men do the work. This gave rise to the women's rights movement of the 1940's, which demanded that women have the choice to apply for any job she chooses, have the same standards as men, and be able to make their own choices.

In a post-World War 2 America in which women had fully integrated into the national workforce and gained the right to vote, a new feminist movement developed, addressing wage discrimination, reproductive rights, and the social empowerment of women.

[The end of World War 2 brought an end to the need for many war time industries, and the women who once worked in factories, where expected to return to their normal lives, this brought the rise of the women's rights movement's due to many being treated unfairly.] Though many protest the Women's rights movement, many others were strong supporter, as they took issue with problems like, reproductive rights, unfair work life, and discrimination. They end of war time industry and rise of demand for consumer goods lead to many women working similar jobs as men, for less pay, which brought about a strong support system for the women's right movement.

The scars left on America during the early 20th century left the country in a process of societal amelioration for the years following. [T Social and political reforms led women to pursue a higher role in this advancing society. Underpaid and oppressed, women began taking steps toward equality in the workplace, at home, and in society. T] The new born feminist movement showed promise of liberation for women who felt their roles had been downplayed for too long.

While the modern feminist movement is continually working towards equal pay and the right to choose whether or not to keep an unborn fetus, the roots of these issues stem as far back as 1940, when women were only just entering the workplace due to the lack of male laborers because of World War II. After World War II, men who were serving during the war came back to the United States expecting to return to their jobs, and many of them did, but this resulted in many of the women who had taken over their responsibilities to give up their new found jobs and return to being housewives, but this did not sit well with many women, and those women who did stay in the workplace were paid drastically less than their male coworkers. Throughout thew rest of the 20th century, women continued to push back into the workplace, but their wages were not able to compete with a man doing the same jobs, and as a result, many women fought for equal pay and are still fighting to close the pay gap.

Through the results of the move to consumerism, the integration of the workplace for women, and the rise of the counter culture movement, the women's rights movement began to gain traction leading to government based change.

Though women were granted the right to vote several years earlier, 1940-75 served as a period of greater importance for the women's right movement, during which women protested at the Miss America Pageant to become more independent, were granted equal opportunity for extra curricular activities , and advanced the argument for equal pay in the labor force.

Despite the years women spent in the workforce during World War 2, they were still being treated unequal and being overworked and underpaid. In order for them to pursue a higher role and equality, women lead political and social reforms, known as the women's rights movement which sought after peace and civil rights. Women faced the challenges of being underpaid for doing the same job as a man, being expected to stick to the roles of a housewife, and feeling the oppression of being less than males in society.

The causes for the women's rights movement from 1940 to 1975 entail the low pay women received while doing the same job as a man, women being put into a caste system due to oppression and women being unable to make choices for themselves from the oppression they have suffered.

(Despite women playing a crucial role in America during World War II and making great strides towards equal rights, they were not initially granted fully equal rights after the war.) During the second world war, women worked jobs that were previously only for men. Women were serving their country, hoping to obtain equal rights as men when the war came to an end. However, this was not the case. The war gave women the opportunity to work jobs that were not previously available and this is what fueled the women's rights movement. Once men started to resume their traditional jobs, women were either out of work or paid low wages. Women now knew what was unavailable to them and were going to fight vigorously for it.

(thesis) Despite the preconceived thought about women and their roles in society, the country started to lead a reconstruction to reform the ever growing social standards that was forced upon them in the years before, during this era women started to demand equal rights due to the unfair wage gap, laws that oppressed women , and the workforce rules.

Although major change was being done in the 1940's-1970's, In the years prior in the 1920's, women like Susan B. Anthony started to lead the women's suffrage movement in order to gain the right to vote. This was a huge influence for the reconstruction.

T- Despite woman being expected to help in the war effort while being oppressed in a many of ways, the idea of women being lesser than men was so ingrained in society in the time span of 1940-1975, and previously, that the movement of women fighting for their rights rose. Just some examples of unfair treatment that led to this was unequal pay for the same job and skill level a man had, the expectation of women to stay at home and cook and clean, and ideal beauty standards women were supposed to meet.

The role of women in society had always been inferior to men. In cultures around the world, the role of a woman was to stay home and watch over the house and children. They had no rights to their own lives, and could not own property or take part in society. Then the World Wars came, and the men who would usually be a part of the workforce were needed for fighting. Suddenly there were not enough men left to run the industry needed for a war effort. All healthy young men were sent off to war, leaving only the elderly men and all the women behind. Women were suddenly in every part of industry, able to shape society directly, and becoming the main breadwinners of their family. For the first time, women were out of the house and in the workforce en masse. Then the war ended, and all the men came home. They expected to just pick up where they had left off, coming back to their jobs, and more importantly, wives, having been exactly as they left them before. This was not the case. Women had grown used to being a part of society, and for the first time were willing and able to prove that they were a valuable part of society. [Although women had previously taken on an almost subservient role in society, becoming involved in the workforce during World War 2 opened the eyes of many to the unequal treatment they were being given. Women recognized that they were a valuable part of society, and the once docile housewives of America began to protest their unfair wages, lack of equal rights and privileges, and subjugation by a male-dominated society.]
