War Effort: Women

Women
While the men went to war, many of the women began working to fill the vacant jobs left by the men. For many women, it was the first time that they had ever worked at all outside of the home. They worked in various factories, created their own unions, took leadership positions in churches and even created their own sports leagues. The result was that, when men came home from the war, many women demanded their rights. After tasting freedom, they didn’t want to give it up.

Questions:
How did they help out?
What are ways they had been mistreated in the past?
Would you have helped out if you had been treated that way in the past?
