Topic description

I have surely learned a huge amount of information from my topic. My topic is, rights and responsibilities of women in World War II. I was actually surprised by the amount of mistreat towards women during the duration of WW2. Women had far less opportunities and benefits than men. Most groups of women in WW2 did gain multiple beneficial rights and factors that would lead to almost the end of gender inequality in war.

Women in World War II had many different roles they could act as. Some jobs included being a nurse, air-force, navy, coast guard, working on the home front, and in general in the women's army corps. In my opinion the group that had the most difficult time in gender inequality was the air-force women. The air-force for women was called the WASP. There received tremendously low training, pay, and benefits of any kind. For a period of time women in the American military didn't have correct uniform badges or patches that signified their standing or rank in their group. Women were put at stack just as much as men though. Even the home front jobs were difficult. Women would often take place of their husband who went off to war. Some of those jobs included machinery work, factory working, rationing food, supplying, etc. In conclusion, women basically had it tough all the way through World War II.

  1. I really like your topic and I can't wait to see the final product. Hopefully I'll have a chance to read it. I noticed how your formal explanation was almost twice as long as your formal explanation, which isn't a bad thing.
