Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper illustrating some of the ways that WWII affected the lives of everyone. All people, regardless of age, were encouraged to support the war effort.

WWII certainly did touch the lives of everyone, even those not directly involved in it. The paper discusses “Rosie the Riveter” and consumer rationing. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
