Women played a crucial role in World War II, contributing both on the home front and in military service. In factories, women took on roles traditionally held by men, producing weapons, vehicles, and other war materials, symbolized by figures like "Rosie the Riveter." They also served in auxiliary military roles, including nurses, pilots, and communication officers, in organizations like the **Women’s Army Corps (WAC)** and **Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)**. Additionally, women were active in resistance movements and intelligence operations. Their contributions not only supported the war effort but also paved the way for greater gender equality in the workforce post-war.
