While pursuing her acting career, Eva began campaigning for women to be given the right to vote and alleviate the growing poverty epidemic in Argentina (biographyonline.net).

Two women by the names of Constance Bowman and Clara Marie Allen told the story of what went on daily while they worked at the bomber plant. A couple of questions needed to be answered though. What does Slacks and Calluses reveal about social class in lives of women?

Did the women in the factories work there out of a sense of patriotism, or because they lacked other opportunities?

Each of the women views the world differently and they try to share their visions with their daughters, hoping that their relationships with their daughters is just as strong as what they had with their own mothers.

The cultural division of labor by sex was going to come to an end. Before the war, mostly every woman was at home cleaning cooking, and caring for children. That all changed when America went to war. The government decided to do a propaganda campaign to sell the importance of war effort and to lure women in. Thus, Rosie the Riveter was born.
Women of all color, during World War II, were able to have tons of freedom expansion and were able to create a new place in society for themselves. When the males of the families had to leave overseas to fight in the military, women were expected to take over the male jobs in factories and perform work other than household duties. These duties in the factories consisted of making munitions and war supplies. Women not only did jobs meant for men in factories, they also performed jobs outside of the factories. According to Sarah Killngsworth, “The war started and jobs kinda opened up for women that men had.
During the war, asso many men were involved in fighting, countless women had a job whether it was working in a munition factory, driving an ambulance or working for the transport of London. This in its self was a major change. For over 1.5 million women, they were working for the very first time. Many argue that this change only lasted throughout the war and that afterwards there was mainly just continuity from what life was like before the war. Women went back to working at home and jobs were taken over by men again.
Parents seek desirable husbands for their daughter and send her away to live with him and her in-laws’. Mothers start teaching their daughters at a young age how to cook, clean, and how their future husband should be taken care of. Once they are married they then take on the role of being a 24/7 housewife who does everything around the house while waiting on everyones hand and foot. The husbands then go finish college get a job and “bring home the money.” This a real life situation that is occurring everyday not only in India but also other parts of the world and my strongly believe that needs to change. I personally do not follow this “rule” because I want to have a great future with a career where I will be treated with respect by all including men.
