times were def being forced to change all over the world. the women's role all over, not just America, was soon to change forever! (thank goodness)

here is a wonderful site about how Austrailia women's role changed. it also has some real nice pictures.

Great pictures! I think to often the woman's role in the war(s) are forgotten. At least anything that I was taught in school had to do with the men and what they were doing. How neat to actually see pictures of the women hard at work during those times.

These are nice photos. :)

So many women of my generation (Baby Boomer) grew up being very aware of all the things that women did during the war - only to end up having to fight their way to being seen as equal and capable late in the 60's and in the early 70's. In many ways, women like those in these photos were almost forgotten by a lot of people. Its nice to see them on here.

I believe that the Women of all nations surprised the World with what they achieved during the War, they certainly played their part in winning it. While Hitler was encouraging German Mothers to have more Children with medals, we were putting our Women to better resources to help fight the cause. (No criticism meant on the Women of Germany with this post)

Yes, I suppose those jobs were filled up rather rapidly by the women who wanted to serve. There were just a lot of women who were not satisfied with sitting at home and keeping the candles burning... but on the other side, the ones who *did* that were doing a very important service, too... keeping morale up on the homefront.
