Women were separated

downemic001 — 2024-02-27 15:38:03 UTC

Women in the army were in separated units from men and this made women feel like they were less

Black women and Japanese women

downemic001 — 2024-02-27 15:41:22 UTC

Black women and Japanese women still were discriminated against and in segregated units but they were a great asset in the war

Women of color

downemic001 — 2024-02-27 15:45:26 UTC

Women of color were not looked discriminated against as much because of their loyalty to the USA

Japanese internment camps

Japanese women were stuck in internment camps for nearly the whole war and could not work or enlist in the war
