Americans at War

Question 4 • Fall 24 US History B IC

Women were recruited for jobs vital to the war effort on the home front. Which is an obstacle they faced?

Answer
A
There were not enough jobs available outside the home.
B
Attitudes about the role of women in the workplace needed to change.
C
The government did not support women joining the workforce in large numbers.
D
Available jobs were limited to nursing, housekeeping, and clerical work.

Explanation

A major obstacle was the belief that women belonged at home or were unsuited to many kinds of work. Those attitudes had to change as women took jobs supporting the war effort, including work in factories and other industries. There were many jobs available, and the government encouraged women to join the workforce, so A and C are not correct.
