  • here is what I came up with~hope it helps~gl

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Roles of the women back in World War 2

    differ greatly than the ones known by me and you

    because they were all told, that there place was in the home

    not on the battlefields where all the men did roam.

    There were quite a few, who did not listen to,

    the ways described and what they were supposed to do.

    They worked many hours to help loved ones away

    and did whatever they had to, to make it everyday.

    They had to support the kids, their mouths they had to feed,

    and somehow make it happen when they were in great need.

    They all were so much stronger than many are today,

    They didn't give up hope, and yet, didn't have much say.

    So this is my salute to them, as it is my only intention,

    to give them a place in history that they are worth the mention.

  • The men were off fighting during WW 2 - the women were left - to support their families - and to provide backup - to their fighting men. By 1945, more than 2.2 million women were working in the war industries, building ships, aircraft, vehicles, and weaponry. Women also worked in factories, munitions plants and farms, and also drove trucks, provided logistic support for soldiers and entered professional areas of work that were previously the preserve of men. In the Allied countries thousands of women enlisted as nurses serving on the front lines. Thousands of others joined defensive militias at home, In addition, women volunteers aided the war effort by planting victory gardens, canning produce, selling war bonds, donating blood, salvaging needed commodities and sending care packages.

    After the men came home - the women lost their jobs - because the men wanted them back. This pushed many back into the home - in the wife and mother position. But this - only happened AFTER the war

    It was certainly not - the job of a WW 2 woman - to stay at home and breed ♥

  • Women became

    what they should always have been

    Equal to men in everything.

    They were needed to fill the gap

    Left by men who went to fight

    The women grasped the chance

    To get out of the mud

    To soar upwards towards the light

    And become full human beings

    As was their right.

    Sadly when the war ended

    And the men returned

    All their efforts were ground to dust

    And spurned.

    (But women had thankfully learned

    and they fought for a world

    That was fair and just)

    And won.

  • Bombs falling,struggle and strife,

    military lads loosing there life.

    Fighting in world war two, To keep the enemy from me and you,

    Mother at home ,, with breaking heart, As she watches her son;s as they depart,

    Young brides leaving ,,there carear on hold .

    Increase the family tree ,,,they were told , All of them faught so bold ,

    for the life the life we have now and hold so bold,

  • just really think about these few things that you listed in your question..

    quitting their jobs

    staying at home (for both of those think about chains, entrapment etc..)

    having many children ... (you could think about them being a production line.. just as there are production lines for new weapons... women are production lines for children?)

    im sure you can think of something if you really try..?
