Women filled a whole host of jobs during World War II, including jobs in munitions factories and production plants. They served as war correspondents, flew with the Civil Air Patrol, and sold war bonds to support the war effort. Whatever the need, women all over the country stepped up to fill it, overcoming stereotypes and showing they could do the jobs just as well as their male counterparts.
