Impact on Women's Lives after World War II

World War II acted as a motivation to the somewhat flagging aspirations of middle class women in their political-community and professional roles while at the same time increasing the conflict between their family and their professional and governmental roles. The conflict between family loyalty and political loyalty was in general more sensitive than it had been in World War I, and even more sensitive for American than for English women (Anderson, 89). One of the effects of World War II was to direct the activities of women to things as well as to persons. During World War I, for instance, nursing was the socially preferred war activity for middle-class women. Nursing might be regarded as an extension of their family role while being an ordinance photographer in World War II could not be so regarded (Adams, 2000).

Moreover, the women's branches of the Armed Services, as well as war industry, tended to draw middle-class women away from separated low-paid occupations, such as teaching and library work. World War II, like World War I, strengthened individualistic and antagonistic attitudes in regard to women's sexual roles. In England, (though not to America) where the privations were much greater than in World War I, cooking as well as sexual satisfactions were almost certainly involved for middle-class women along with the rest. World War II gave to some middle-class women a chance to develop more independence in their family roles (Anderson, 91). Many women learned new short-cuts in discharging their family responsibility (Anderson, 93).
