he hard skilled labor of women was symbolized in the United States by the concept of Rosie the Riveter, a woman factory laborer performing what was previously considered man's work.

With this expanded horizon of opportunity and confidence, and with the extended skill base that many women could now give to paid and voluntary employment, women's roles in World War II were even more extensive than in the First World War. By 1945, more than 2.2 million women were working in the war industries, building ships, aircraft, vehicles, and weaponry. Women also worked in factories, munitions plants and farms, and also drove trucks, provided logistic support for soldiers and entered professional areas of work that were previously the preserve of men. In the Allied countries thousands of women enlisted as nurses serving on the front lines. Thousands of others joined defensive militias at home and there was a great increase in the number of women serving for the military itself, particularly in the Soviet Union's Red Army.

Was anyone fat back then?
I was curious, earliest data I could find for obesity was 1960s where 10-15% of the population was obese. Now it's 42%. I did see average 18yo male BMI was slightly lower in the 40s than 60s, also obesity was trending upwards even in the 60s. Best guess was obesity rate was 7-12%. Also obesity weight is lower than most people think. I'm guessing the severe(used to be called morbid) obesity we see today was almost nonexistent back then, where as its 10% now.
Look at as many historical films as you can find and try to spot a fatty. You won't see many
So they don't go fight in the front lines. Ok
Russia 800,000 female
@@mikerice5298 as military nurses?
some did, nurses, SOE/OSS agents (all fully special forces trained alongside their male collegues), of course you have the russians and other countries with a different cultural view on women, but all in all what is know is about 2-4 MILLION women serving on the front lines and or on a combat zone.
However we also must understand that a war is NOT won in the trnches or on the front lines, it is won by the nurses, truckers, clerks and cooks, the so called non combatants, THESE are the men and women that win the war, the infantly just kills some enemies
@mike rice most of them did not fight in frontlines
On other hand we had millions of men fighting in frontline
If you listen, it says they served while under fire and were even POW's. A number were KIA.
