Oveta Culp Hobby was able to advance women's rights in the military through her influential role as the director of the Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II. She advocated for and successfully achieved increased opportunities for women within the military by pushing for their acceptance into non-combat roles. This allowed women to serve in various positions previously reserved only for men, thus breaking down the barriers and opening doors for future gender equality in the military. Hobby's leadership and efforts paved the way for more recognition and acceptance of women's capabilities and contributions in the armed forces.
