Title	Printing
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.
