- The unemployment problem before world war 2 was resolved when wartime demands steped up the needs for production and created millions of jobs
- Though many now had places to work the draft pulled many young men out of their jobs to serve their country
- Some of the women who were working in the factories to help manufacture for the war were replaced by returning veteranes
- However most women who wanted to continue working did so
- Along with taking on Rosie the riveter like jobs during the war many women held traditionally female roles in the workforce such as waitressing
- Nearly 1 million women also became "government girls" holding jobs in the federal government
- The Government girls movement mostly took place in washington dc
- During world war 2 women began to gain more respect as men realized that women could also work outside the home
- Upon gaining the respect they deserved women fought for equal pay which made a huge impact on the workforce
- Women then began to take over "male" jobs and gained huge confidance in themselves
- Women staffed many jobs in community service roles such as the USO and American Red Cross while men were at war
- The american troops coming home from war resulted in a baby boom

-All women who were not in charge of young childern were asked to seek employment
- The public was very resistant to the idea of working mothers
-Women who decided not to work did choose to help the war effort in other ways
-Another effort to conserve resources for the war was called rationing, this meant that a women could only purchase so much of something at one time
Things that were rationed were items such as: sugar and other cooking staples, as well as fabrics like silk, nylon, rayon, cotton and wool.
-The government encouraged victory gardens, these were small patches in their backyards used to grow things like lettus, beans and other produce that would normally be purchased at a grocery store
-Women during this time were still expected to keep the house and dress the same as they normally would as well as cook with limited resoruces

progress post
This is my first progress post Mr Nilsen. So far i have decided on a topic and started on the seven things assingment im having alittle trouble coming up with subtopics i can break the research down further into. If you have any ideas i'd love to hear them! thanks so much =)

Product prospectus
1.) How did Rosie the riviter effect women during the world war 2 era
2.)My final product will be a scrapbook that will show images and descriptions of the impact the idea of Rosie the riviter had on women of that time.
3.)I chose this form because I want to study the changes made by women while their husband is away at war and I think that using images will help with understanding
4.)When I complete the scrapbook there will be pictures as well as captions outlining the changes that women made on the homefront to adapt while their husbands were at war.
5.)The final scrapbook will demonstrate concept mastry because the project will illustrate with pictures, quotes and captions the changes these women underwent. The subtopics that I would like to divide the project into the jobs they took, the economic changes that were made made as far as the salaries they earned, the social changes made and how they viewed they were in society, how the new jobs changed their fashion choices and the impact they had on their family relationships.
6.)My "plan of attack" is to research the subtopics one at a time and as I finish them I will create the necessary pages and then move onto the next section.
7.) Next I will start by researching the first subtopic and creating the necessary pages and moving on from there.
