Imagine it's 1942 and you're a twenty year old female and your country was just bombed by Japan. Marion Cadwell was just one of the heroic women who joined the workforce to do her part in the war effort. Many women were denied jobs because of the stereotypes that have existed throughout history. WWII was a great start to help women begin their independence from men. This is a common story in the beginning of World War II. Many women did various jobs to help with the war such as parachute rigger, riveter, and ship builder. Take a look at the video above and research job opportunities for women during WWII and decide what job your would do and why. Also would you be OK being payed less and treated worse than men?
