Rosie the Riveter became the official female figure for the war effort. Women in War It’s a Woman’s War Too! Don’t Waste our Materials! • During the war Americans had to ration everything! From scrap metal, to gasoline, to oil, to food; everything had to be rationed! Don’t Waste!

These bonds were similar to saving bonds and were used by the government to help fund war efforts. Buy War Bonds! Buy War Bonds! America Wants You! • The government needed men to fight for the war effort so they began to draft and recruit all eligible men. Those who avoided this draft were known as “draft dodgers.” Join the Cause! America Wants You! Loose Lips, Sink Ships! • Traitors and spies were everywhere! No one could be trusted; therefore the government used propaganda to remind Americans that “loose” talk could cost lives. Our Carelessness Loose Lips Propaganda against the Enemy • During World War II social stereotypes were used to overexaggerate the “evil” of the enemy. Depictions of the enemy were created to make them appear evil and heartless and to rally American support for the war. Japanese Depictions Depiction of Hitler Everybody else is doing it… • America wasn’t the only country employing propaganda to push the war effort. Other countries all over the world were using propaganda techniques to rally the people for the cause, no matter which side they were fighting for.
