Women In Wartime:
Once the war began they did not have enough workers to help the military and industrial needs, and so 6 million new workers were women and at first factories were reluctant to hire women because they did not not think they had enough stamina but the woman had proved them wrong.
Women faced much prejudice with other minorities and their wages were 40% less than men, they also took up journalism and other male professions during the war; a lot of women worked in defense plants, which offered more challenging work and higher pay, Woman also boosted to work force by 35%. On top of working in factories women were also in charge of taking care of the house while the men were fighting the war.
More than 59,000 American nurses worked in army nurse corps, which lowered post injury, mortality rate.

Your post has a lot of information and has many good statistics. You also mentioned many of the various jobs that the women had taken during the war. Try running your piece through a grammar checker to iron out a few small details. Nice Job!

ReplyDeleteA nice, concise summary of womens' role in the war. The only suggestion I have is to be careful about run-on sentences.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good shortened version of what really happened. Nice job on shortening it and not writing a novel about it. Very descriptive...
