After the attack of Pearl Harbor, many of the militaries’ ships and aircrafts were destroyed. But in order for the U.S. to have a fighting chance against Japanese they had to recreate the lost ships and aircrafts. This opened many jobs for the citizens. Soon after the military started drafting men, and even a sum of 5 million men volunteered. Because of the draft they was an extreme shortage of men left to work in the U.S. So the women had to step up and take their places.
As the government realized that they needed more people to work for the military, they had passed The Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps. This had allowed women to work for the military as long as they would not see the battlefield. In a short amount of time about 6 million women had joined the work force. By 1944, there were almost 18 million working for the war industries. Which was about three times as much there was in 1941. Because of this involvement with the military, women had felt more confident in them selves and in their country
