The primary role of women in the labor force during World War II was as industrial workers and support personnel in the military. With a significant portion of the male workforce enlisted, women took on roles in factories, producing munitions and supplies under the banner of “We Can Do It!” This shift represented a substantial societal change as women demonstrated their capabilities and contributions beyond traditional roles. The experiences of women during the war laid the foundation for the post-war push for gender equality and women's rights in the workforce.
