It also proved that women were more capable of doing the jobs than the rest of society would’ve imagined of.

Although it was similar to what they usually did at home, it helped them have more employment which was able to make them able to have more of a variety of jobs.]]> 2024-02-27 03:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2896972562 ramanu000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2896973326 When the US entered WWII, there was a lack of nurses to help the soldiers so they could recover. This created the United States Cadet Nurse Corps or the CNC. Women between 17-35 years of age went to a nursing school in order to be able to help and heal the soldiers. There were advertisements placed in order to convince other young women into joining the CNC. Although many women faced discrimination by men and there were very few people of color, it created a lasting impact that caused many women to be more involved in one of other jobs they didn’t have before and helped change the view of men in a slight way.]]> 2024-02-27 03:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2896973326 heflijul000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2897810481 Not only did woman give their sons, husbands, fathers, and brothers to the war effort, they gave their own time, energy, and some even gave their life even though they could have had a really long and great life.]]> 2024-02-27 15:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2897810481 heflijul000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2897813177 https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/women-wwii]]> 2024-02-27 16:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2897813177 heflijul000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2898171110 https://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/wwii-women.html#:~:text=With%20men%20off%20to%20fight,vital%20to%20the%20war%20effort.]]> 2024-02-27 20:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2898171110 ramanu000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2898172650 About 350,000 women during WWII served in the Armed Forces which helped soldiers recover and heal because of the many nurses that were there during the war.

In 1942, the US had extreme shortages in pilots so women were trained to fly the military planes. This group of pilots were called the “Women Airforce Service Pilots” or the WASP. There were about 1,100 women in the WASP that flew almost every type of plane that was there and also helped ship war supplies, food, equipment from factories, etc. Although women during WWII who flew these planes asked for military status, they weren’t allowed to have it until 1970 because they were still dubbed as “weak and fragile” women.]]> 2024-02-27 20:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2898186933 ramanu000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2898229761 https://www.npr.org/2010/03/09/123773525/female-wwii-pilots-the-original-fly-girls]]> 2024-02-27 21:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2898229761 ramanu000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2899839785 https://www.pritzkermilitary.org/explore/museum/past-exhibits/shes-wow/wows]]> 2024-02-29 00:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2899839785 ramanu000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2899849081 In WWII, munitions factories were created throughout rural America. Women at the time went inside to make military weapons and supplies and were known as the Women Ordnance Workers (WOWs). They were required to have a perfect attendance record at work and at special meetings for 3 months straight. Although they did help other soldiers get the supplies they needed to fight the war, they were often paid less than regular men because they were still considered as weak. But even so, they were still able to receive an equal payment from the army and navy as compensation for helping them.]]> 2024-02-29 00:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2899849081 ramanu000 https://padlet.com/heflijul000/j4g1elxkyc8sll2j/wish/2899909889 In 1941, when the Navy counted how many men were there during WWII, there weren’t nearly enough soldiers to help fight in the war effort. This caused the Navy to start enlisting women into the war. At first, there were many disputes and disagreements about whether or not women should join and what roles they should do. Eventually though, they came up with the conclusion that the women should be placed in the Naval Reserve. The women in the Naval Reserve were known as the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service or the WAVES which was created by Elizabeth Reynard, a lieutenant in the reserve at the time. Unlike WWI, the women who were there could enlist either as an officer or a soldier. Even though women enlisted as officers, they were only allowed to command things inside of the Women’s Reserve. They filled the billets, which were areas for soldiers to temporarily live in, over the span of 900 locations. Although they were prohibited at the time from serving on ships or going overseas, they were still able to help out by working as nurses, servants, and code breakers. They also helped many soldiers in the aviation field at Naval Air stations. More than 100,000 women participated and served in the WAVES and were removed at the end of the war.
