A New Workforce: The Women That Helped Win The War | Battlezone | War Stories
As America and Britain went into WWII, more and more women were taking on roles in industry, filling the positions of men who had left to fight. In America alone, up to six million women took up positions in the civilian workforce, with roles spanning munitions, lumber and steel work to government and other office jobs. In these rare archive films we take a look back to see what life was really like for these women, how they quickly took on their new jobs and how they helped win the war.
