World War II had a significant impact on women in the United States, as many entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers to fill roles left vacant by men who went to fight in the war. This experience empowered women and contributed to the push for greater social and economic opportunities in the post-war period. While some women did return to traditional roles after the war, the experience of working and contributing to the war effort laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for women's rights and equality.
