Women After World War II
During World War II many women had taken over jobs of the men at war. When the men came back, it was a slow transition to the separate roles of the sexes from before the war. However, it never completely went back to normal and many women kept their jobs. When the men came back, married women were encouraged to go back to being house wives. Many of these woman had agreed to do so and wanted to but the others missed their old jobs during the war. Single women who worked a man's job during WWII had to return to there occupations from before the war.
By 1960 society had reverted back to its ways. Men had the primary jobs while women were housewives, servants, and other secondary positions. Also, the amount of jobs had decreased since the war and factories were no longer producing weapons for the United States of America making it harder for women to keep jobs.
During World War Two the image of women changed greatly but only for a short period of time. Around the 1950's most women went back to working at home and other jobs that they had before WWII. Some of the women workforce during the war still continued into the future. Although most of the women's jobs were taken away, their efforts had a great effect on the workforce of women today. Society was no longer the same and Rosies daughters kept the tradition going. "Rosie" and the women workers showed that they could do a mans work and that helped change the role of women in America's workforce greatly. Rosie proved that women were the best people to work and created much of a difference in the view of women. "On March 10, 2010 nearly 70 years after they were disbanded the women air force service pilots received the congressional gold medal."
