Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper examining the cultural changes ushered in by the actions and consequences of World War II. Hundreds of thousands of women had gone to work in the nation's factories that had been dedicated to war materiel production and only grudgingly gave up those jobs for returning veterans. They had become accustomed to the wages and fulfillment of outside employment and set out to regain it in their own right. African Americans were granted the right to vote in 1944 because of their overwhelming willingness to fight and die for the country that had taken little notice of their existence, and the GI Bill provided access to college education to thousands who otherwise would not have been able to attend. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

the production of wartime materiel, and announcements went through all of them with news of the end of the war that management was "certain" those women would continue to do
their duty and voluntarily give up those jobs so that they could be returned to the soldiers who soon would be coming home (Brinton, 1996). While some welcomed the
opportunity to return to the more traditional roles that women had held for generations, others had seen the glimmer of possibility in their few years as wage-earning workers and only
grudgingly moved over to make room (Quam-Wickham, 1998). They really had no choice-in todays world there would be class action lawsuits and charges of sexual discrimination, but in their world
