List some of the occupations open to women by the war

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: In all wars, women have traditionally taken over the jobs available at the time; plus running their homes and raising their children alone. I need to know which war you are asking about.

During World War I, women worked at manufacturing jobs and they farmed. Many of them joined the military and the Red Cross.Manufacturing was the most surprising at the time. Rosie the Riveter was made famous as a lovely woman in coveralls helping build airplanes for the war effort.
During WW1 a lot of women went to work in occupations that had previously been done by men. They worked in farming, forestry, on the railways and buses, as drivers etc. A lot of them worked in munitions factories. In the UK, women joined the newly formed women's auxilliary services, the Army, Navy and Airforce, but I understand America did not have official women's services until WW2. In the UK women also joined the newly formed women's Police Serivce (I understand women were admitted to the police force in the USA from 1910).

Harriet Stanton Blatch wrote:

'The American woman is going over the top. Four hundred and more are busy on aeroplanes at the Curtiss works. The manager of a munition shop where to-day but fifty women are employed, is putting up a dormitory to accomodate five hundred. An index of expectation! Five thousand are employed by the REmington Arms Company at Bridgeport. At the International Arms and Fuse Company at Bloomfiled, New Jersey, two thousand, eight hundred are employed.

Nor are the railways neglecting to fill up gaps in their working force with women. The Pennsylvania road, it is said, has recruited some seven hundred of them. In the Erie Railroad women are not only engaged as 'work classifiers' in the locomotive clerical department, but hardy Polish women are employed in the car repair shops. They move great wheels as if possessed of the strength of Hercules.

The professional woman is going over the top, and with a good opinion of herself. "I can do this work better than any man" was the announcement made by a young woman from the Pacific Coast as she descended upon the city hall in an eastern town, credentials in her hand, and asked for the position of city chemist. There was not a microbe she did not know to its undoing, or a deadly poison she could not bring from its hiding place. The town had suffered from graft and the mayor, thinking a woman might scare the thieves as well as the bacteria, appointed the chemist who believed in herself. And she is just one of many who have been taking up such work.

Formerly two-thirds of the positions filled by the New York Inercollegiate Bureau of Occupations were secretarial or teaching positions, now three-fourths of its applicants have been placed as physicists, chemists, office managers, sanitary experts, exhibit secretaries, and the like. Of the women placed, four times as many as formerly get salaries ranging about eighteen hundred dollars a year.'Source(s):'The Virago book of women in the Great War' edited by Joyce Marlow

During World War II, farmers were encouraged to grow large amounts of WHAT oil-producing crop to support the war effort?A) corn
B) peanuts
C) rye
D) soybeans

Answers

The correct answer is B) peanuts.

During World War II, farmers were encouraged to grow large amounts of peanuts oil-producing crops to support the war effort.

Also, during World War II, farmers had to produce more food with fewer workers. Farmers had many complications. For instance, if they wanted to buy a tractor, the War Production Board gave preference to built a tank using the available steel. And the prices for farmer’s products were set by the Congress and Office of Price Administration.

It is understandable that the priority in those years was the manufacturing of products to support the war effort. That is why During World War II, farmers were encouraged to grow large amounts of peanuts oil-producing crops to support the war effort.

Read the following passage from Sarah Pike Conger's letter home: We sailed from Nagasaki and clean, beautiful Japan, the night of the twentieth of June, passed through the Yellow Sea, and reached Shanghai, China, on the twenty- third. We left our steamship, the Doric, some three miles out in the bay, and with regrets we waved our last good-byes as we sailed out from under her protection. She had been a home to us and seemed like a part of our own dear country. Many times we had gone out into the unknown cities and back again to her as a refuge. We remained in Shanghai eight days, but were only in the foreign concession. This concession is a modification of both the Far East and the West. I never saw men work before!

China is thickly populated and the people cry out against any device that takes labor and support from their poor coolie classes.3 Which of the following claims might this excerpt support? A.
