The first book to examine the impact of World War II on the roles
of women in an individual state Covers the experience of both black
and white Alabama women as defense workers, volunteers, and
homemakers. The most important change for women during the war
years was their employment in jobs normally held by men, which
posed an implicit challenge to traditional notions about femininity
and female limitations. Thomas describes the women employed in the
defense industries--how they were recruited and trained, where they
worked and under what conditions, and what changes employers made
in the workplace to accommodate women, She also discusses the
experience of the women who served as volunteers in the Ground
Observer Corps, the Citizens' Service Corps, the Red Cross, and
other volunteer agencies. In addition, the author considers how
homemakers coped during a time of rationing, housing shortages,
lack of schools, and inadequate medical facilities.
