Question

women were recruited for jobs vital to the war effort on the home front. which is an obstacle they faced? there were not enough jobs available outside the home. available jobs were limited to nursing, housekeeping, and clerical work. the government did not support women joining the workforce in large numbers. attitudes about the role of women in the workplace needed to change.

Explanation:

To determine the obstacle women faced when recruited for war - effort jobs on the home front, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: During the war, many jobs opened up outside the home due to men being at war, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: In reality, women were recruited for a wide range of jobs (not just limited to nursing, housekeeping, and clerical work) to support the war effort, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The government actively encouraged women to join the workforce to fill the labor gap left by men going to war, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Traditional attitudes about women's roles (e.g., that women should be primarily in the home) needed to change for women to be fully accepted in the workplace, and this was a significant obstacle.

Answer:

Attitudes about the role of women in the workplace needed to change.
