Description

Explore a deep analysis of women's roles during the Second World War with this Routledge Library Edition. While many view this era as a time of emancipation due to the sudden influx of women into paid labor, this study offers a different perspective. It examines how the state managed the transition of women from the domestic sphere to the workforce. This academic work looks at the tension between the urgent need for war production and existing social structures. It examines how the search for a compromise between production and patriarchy often meant that women's own preferences were neglected or distorted. Readers will learn about the systemic challenges faced by female workers, including the practice of paying women less and treating them as an inferior category of labor. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in women's history and the social sciences.
