This essay will focus on the women who worked during World War II and their role in the community. Not only will it focus on their roles, but it will also look at the fashion of these women; what they wore to work during the war, after the war and what they wear to work today. The research on changing fashion relates more to my work as I have tried to portray the changes in these working class women's fashion, what it means and how it showcases women as being. Although most women who worked during World War II are said to be middle class, this essay will focus on working class women in society. One of the main topics of this essay will be the "Rosie the Riveter" poster, although created by various artists during World War II, the meanings in each poster mirrored those that followed. Additionally, this essay will reflect on some of the many female war artists who used women to portray strength, elegance, and raw femininity. During World War II the role of women became focused on one thing, taking the place of what were the roles of men. Although jobs such as nursing, teaching, or working in the textile department or in clothing making were still essentially classified as typical "women's jobs", the war provided them not so much with a gateway but with a more wide to work in different sectors. fields. As in the munitions factories, earning the name Munitionettes and working in the Armed Forces. In munitions factories, women worked in all types of production, from making munitions to uniforms to airplanes. They counted the bullets that were sent to soldiers at war, they repaired the planes used by pilots during the war to shoot down enemies like birds in the sky. In relation to my work, clothing rationing during World War II affected the fashion of working class women as it became more difficult to find materials to make clothes, which then acquired the problem of insufficient material. Women who worked in factories wore simple clothes such as overalls for the sole reason that they were comfortable, cheap, quick and easy to wear. The women carried large bags suitable for storing tools, ration books and their essentials.
