The Roles of American Women and Social Changes During World War II

Over 15 million American women served in diverse roles during World War II, including nursing, teaching pilots, and working in noncombat positions. With the labor force expanded, unemployment virtually vanished. The era also saw the impact of Victory Gardens, war bonds, and rationing for essential goods such as coffee and gasoline. Key events included the Zoot Suit Riots, Executive Order #9066, and the contributions of Japanese-American soldiers. Influential figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Asa Philip Randolph shaped this transformative period in U.S. history.
