Description
Title taken from caption . "13 Apr 45 . [WACs setting type for printing]. " World War II changed the lives of women in significant ways . The war not only drew American women to the labor force , but it also brought them into the organized labor movement . As a result , female union membership quadrupled , and unprecedented numbers of women became labor activist and leaders . Once within the unions , women became staunch advocates against sex discrimination in the work place , and in time they began to help define a range of women's issues . Information was obtained from Higonnet , M . R , Jenson , J. , Michel , S. , Weitz , M . C . (Eds.) . Behind the Lines , Gender and the Two World Wars . New Haven : Yale University Press , 1987 p.154 .
