With ever-growing orders for war materials combined with so many men overseas fighting the war, women were called upon to work in ways previously reserved only for men.

By the end of World War II, more than 19 million women were in the workforce and 350,000 women had served in the US Armed Forces.

World War II wasn't just a man's war—350,000 American women answered the call and served their country.

American women played important roles during World War II, both at home and in uniform.

Women warrant officers made up a small portion of the Women’s Army Corps but were trailblazers who created opportunities for women in the US Armed Forces for decades to come.
