Women's role in WWII-Women didn't seem to matter much during this time, until they had to go take over the men's jobs in factories. Rosie the Riveter was a symbol that showed women, it was okay. With them making a lot of the items for war, it helped us to win. They were also great nurses, farmworkers, typists, waitresses, elevator operators, teachers, conductors, and worked in the Womens Army Core (WAC). Women also had their own version of the navy called The WAVES in this they would work the phones and stuff.3.

Hollywood's role in WWII- During this time, a lot of movies were made about the war. Casablanca and Bombing Tokyo are a couple of examples. Some people from the states like Bob Hope, would travel to the troops and entertain them.6. Office of Price Administration- (O.P.A.) Delt with price controls and rationing of goods so that prices didn't get too high. Put restricions on sugar, meat, and clothing so that you could only buy a certain amount in a certain amount of time. If you had certain jobs that helped with the war effort, you would have a better advantage for gas over others. This made the black market develop better.7. War Production Board- They tried to encourage factories to make do as much production as they can. Your not at war, don't waste your time while at work not making things for your troops who are.8.
