Why were American women pressured to leave their jobs alter the war,
• No answer text provided.
• Women did not yet have the right to work during peace
Their work was seen as an unusual wartime necessity, and now that the war was over, they had to go back to
"normal" and stay at home
• Once the war was over, war production ended, and the women who specialized in that type of work were no longer needed
• Men returning from war were expected to take back their jobs, leading to pressure on women to leave their roles to make room for them
• Social norms at the time dictated that women should prioritize their roles as wives and mothers over their careers, leading to pressure for them to leave their wartime jobs
• Many women faced discrimination and were pushed out of their jobs by employers who preferred to hire men for traditional roles once the wartime need for female workers had passed
