The Depression and World War II
As you learned from reading this chapter, World War II not only impacted the lives of the soldiers who served, but the American home front was greatly affected by the war. As more and more men left the civilian workforce to join the war effort, employers faced severe labor shortages and women found themselves without fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons. Women stepped in, tenaciously fulfilling their new roles as soldiers on the home front. To gain a better understanding of and deeper appreciation for their efforts, visit the Redstone Web site and read "Women at War".
