Women had many roles during World War II. They helped the military, worked in factories, and became nurses. Before the war, many women were just home makers. During World War II women could do anything. Even famous Rosie the Riveter once said, “We Can Do It!” (Panchyk 57) Women played a huge role in World War II.
She knew the people she blamed were innocent. “We were dancin’ in the woods last night, and my uncle leaped in on us.” (Miller 22) She had the opportunity to end the madness. Instead she continued to accuse people, resulting in the death of twenty Salem residents. If she had just took responsibility she could have saved lives. The witch hunt led to Abigail having a destructive power trip.
In the time of Gilead, the women were taken from their homes where they were brainwashed by speeches from their “Aunts” who argued that “such a social order ultimately offers the women more respect and safety then the old, pre-Gilead society offered them” (Sparknotes). In their new age, they’re simply used to run errands and bear children in the homes of Commanders that have trouble conceiving with their wives. They are fed small bits of information on what is going on in the Republic and are expected to be content with just that. Offred spends a great amount time thinking of her old life with her husband, Luke, and their young daughter. Then, one night her Commander asks to see her privately where they play Scrabble (which is illegal because in Gilead, women are not allowed to read) and she is allowed to look at old magazines; to conclude these secret encounters, the Commander asks Offred to kiss him.
Some women “felt they were needed at home to raise families, crops for food and to fill the jobs that the men had vacated in order to serve their country.”(Suite101) Women’s lives on the home front during World War II were a significant part of the war effort for all participants and had a major impact on the outcome of the war. Once the men went off to war and left their jobs, the women that were single had a great advantage because job opportunities were everywhere. In the other hand married women had a tough time, especially if they had children. Hundreds of women worked in machine shops, welding shops, manufacturing plants, and also worked in war industries to make equipment for the war. New industries, naval, and army bases were being built during the home front.
Meaning since most men had gone to war, nobody else but women were able to fill men's daily roles. This was very important during world war II because the U.S. needed people to work on the unemployment jobs, especially the jobs relating to the war. This propaganda in my opinion is very convincing to women. Its convincing because women knew that if they didn't help, their husbands and family members might not return back.The picture displays the lady wearing a red rag on her head, the He is white and she is wearing a blue working uniform. I believe this is representing the U.S. and its demonstrating her pride for the country.
That new venture for American women would soon come to an end. Some faced harassment for attempting to stay in industry, and the government insisted that they were just a substitute until the war was over, but the women never faltered. They had changed industry and left permanent effects. Although when the war ended with the Allies victorious, the need for munitions workers abruptly ceased. Women were now forced to leave their jobs to seek others.
As the Sons of Liberty was formed, the Daughters of Liberty was formed as well. Women would refuse to by British products, taxed or untaxed. These products would usually be fur, wine, tea, sugar, and paper[16]. When the Revolution began, men and women both participated in the battles. Dressed in men’s apparel and armed with guns and pitchforks, the brave women of Groton, Massachusetts captured a small army of British soldiers and their messenger who carried important British information.
L.D.B sent a letter to Edda Mussolini pleading for her help in caring for her eleven children. She went on to write that her husband served in the military and she could not care for such a large family on her own. Signing it “Your most devoted,” she hoped that the direct letter would get a response. (Doc 10) In a speech that was given by Mussolini himself in 1934,if a woman works then she deprives man of honor, respect and the very core of his being that was ripped away when women took independence and began modernizing. (Doc.
I would have been a hero as a woman in supporting and sustaining the conflict. Many of the heroes in World War II were women who gave up the security of home to face the unknown in answering to the nation at a time when it was needed. As the need for men in the armed services grew, women supported these men by producing planes, ships, and ammunition, also by attending to the ill and wounded. Women also filled jobs in the military vacated by men called up for active duty. They could and they did.
Montag is her family, but she doesn't consider him as much as a family compaired to the parlor walls. Another example that Mildred should start thinking for herself is she pulled the alarm on her own husband, Montag. Montag did something against the law and Mildred didn't want to get into trouble so as a result of it, "she pulled the alarm" (Bradbury 115). She lost her husband because she listened to the
