Women were encouraged to work
in most countries to contribute to
the war mobilization effort
Rosie the Riviter
• Great Britain- women held 50% of civil
service positions and a great number
worked in agriculture. Women were
encouraged to grown their food in parks
to offset food shortages.
• Soviet Union- the number of working
women increased by 60%.
• Germany- Nazis were resistant to
female employment but eventually
encouraged women to work. However,
female employment increased only
slightly.
• Japan- opposed female employment.
Saw it as a weakening of the family
system.
Turning Points of the War
• America’s entry into the war
• Battle of Stalingrad- Hitler wanted to take this major industrial center
on the Volga River. Heavy Soviet resistance combined with the
onset of winter forced the Germans to surrender after losing 300,000
men.

aircraft carriers. Established American naval superiority in the
Pacific.
• Battle of Normandy- Americans won the battle on the beaches of
