question 1 of 10
which of the following statements accurately describes one effect world war
ii had on womens roles in both the united states and great britain?
a. the war created opportunities for women to challenge gender
norms.
b. the war convinced women that working in the home was best.
c. the war pushed many women out of the workforce by making
their skills obsolete.
d. the war reinforced men and womens traditional gender roles.

Explanation:

During World War II, many men were away at war. This led to women taking on jobs that were previously dominated by men, such as in factories (e.g., building munitions). This challenged the traditional gender norm that women should only be in domestic roles. Option B is incorrect as women were entering the workforce more, not staying home. Option C is wrong because women were entering the workforce, not being pushed out. Option D is incorrect as traditional roles were being challenged, not reinforced.

Answer:

A. The war created opportunities for women to challenge gender norms.
