Even famous Rosie the Riveter once said, “We Can Do It!” (Panchyk 57) Women played a huge role in World War II. One of the important roles was working in the military. They served in all three services, Army, Air Force and Navy. When the government was recruiting women into the Army, they made it sound glamorous. When the women joined the Army, they did not get glamorous jobs.
How Women Impacted WWII-Vishnu Patel Many have said that Canadian women’s contribution in WWII did lead to an allied victory. Women played a huge role and were very important in WWII. Canadian Women took part in WWII by joining the armed forces or they stayed home to raise families, crops for food and to fill the jobs that the men have left. Women weren’t allowed fighting in battle but they did many other things as well in war. After the war many women continued their career in the military force.
Field chose five women to interview and talk about their experiences during the war, stressing the working conditions that the high volume of war production built for black and white women. The five women being interviewed, two white women and three black women, all came from diverse backgrounds, Brooklyn, Illinois, Detroit, and Arkansas farms. While the women are being interviewed, the film goes back and forth with the women’s personal experiences and views and the actual philosophy of the war as seen in propaganda
In reviewing the eight women “who came to the front during World War II” in this Library of Congress Exhibition on Women in World War II I have chosen the following three to compare and contrast. Therese Bonney, Toni Frissell, and Esther Bubley were photographers during World War II that captured the moments of war on the home front and the front lines to tell their stories. They touched millions of viewers in the United States and abroad. In contrast most of Therese Bonney’s pictures were images of homeless children and adults on the back roads of Europe. Toni Frissell’s images were mainly about nurses, front-line soldiers, WACs, African-American airmen, and orphaned children.
They show their loyalty and abilities during wars. Women should be allowed in front line combat positions are currently a big issue for Australia. The story of Mu indicates women have ability to join frontline combat positions and they did very well. Women should join in front line combat positions are not only to show their abilities but also point out that woman and men have same loyalty to their homelands. Today, I will talk about why women could participate the frontline combat positions.
This was real life accounts of the women who went through it, which goes a long way with showing what these times were really like during this point in history. If this film was just a narrator telling the audience what occurred during these times, it would be just like many other history documentaries that are made. Showing what these wartime women went through with excitement, humor, and sadness all in one made it that much more great. Seeing these women overcome all that was put against them made you want to rally behind
First, female soldiers show leadership capability in the military. A research from Pew Research Center shows that women are good leaders due to honest, intelligent, hardworking, decisive, and creative, etc. (Men or Women, 2008).

Wikipedia reports that Lyudmila Mykhailivna Pavlichenko, the most successful Soviet sniper, she has been credited with 309 kills.
Women played a vital role during the World War I. Most either nursed the wounded soldiers, or provided goods and services in the war. Many of these determined women were killed whilst carrying out their duties. They were without doubt the heros of the Great War. Women helped cure many troops during the war.
Banner's book provided large amounts of information pertaining directly to women in America. Her book was helpful, informative, and the main resource for my portion of the report.

They also wanted the right to have their own possessions, to divorce their husbands, and to keep their children after divorce. Women were great supporters of World War I. Many women became nurses. Nursing wasn't for everyone, but the job had to be done. Women entertained troops with songs and dancing, and also with lectures, dramatic reading, and poetry.
