- Description:
- As American casualties mounted during World War II, more soldiers were needed to fight. Women were called upon to do their part at home to release men for frontline service in Europe and the Pacific. The Women's Army Corps utilized women in a variety of military support roles and many more women took jobs in the ordnance industries and even on the farm. For many women, it was their first entry into the work force out of the home. These war-induced changes had tremendous implications on the traditional gender role assigned to women in Alabama and the nation.
