America quickly realized they were in a new World War 2 and were not very prepared for it. Japan’s advances were very fast and well coor

A volunteer from the WASP (Women’s Air force Service Pilots), Eleanor McLernon Brown recalled: “The time I had as a pilot in the WASP is one of my most treasured memories. Imagine the thrill of being chosen for training from among the thousands of other young women who applied. I wanted to serve my country and I wanted to be a pilot. When deactivation became a fact, it was a dismal experience, being told we were not needed any longer. But my pride in being a WASP will never diminish.”

These Women had a great impact on women’s roles in WWII and also the outcome of WWII. They were merely special because of their influence in politics or their power during the war, but many women would eagerly take their place, and vice versa. Women were the most influential factor in WWII, and the involvement of them changed literally everything.

dinated, and America was running out of men in the Pacific fast. A week after Corregidor had fallen, congress authorized the establishment of a Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC). Hours after that, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson, who was a WW1 veteran, contracted Oveta Culp Hobby to take charge of the fledgling organization. This organization did not go well with all Americans, many objected to women in the military and thought women deserved in the kitchen and not serving in uniform. “ Often WAAC met hostility rather than cooperation from the War Department. Male reporters at its first press conference bombarded her (Hobby) with irrelevant questions. For months to come, newspapers and magazines carried stories about America’s new ‘Petticoat army, Wackies, and powder magazines.” A few weeks after Hobby was designated leader of the WAAC, she had recruiting, staffing, facilities, uniforms, and training programs operational. “WAACs received their basic training at five army posts and they soon were assigned to replace men as clerks, mechanics, typists, cooks, drivers, and in other capacities.”

Eunice Remembered: ‘We never seemed to be without wounded men waiting for surgery. We put in 18 hour days, seven days per week. Some nurses collapsed from exhaustion and shortage of food, and they too, became patients.’”

These two women served in a very small part of the war. Even though they didn’t save thousands of lives or changed theologies of the past, they made an impact, as many other women did. The few others’ lives that these two nurses changed helped the war in a little way, but it was still a change for the good. Of the 120,000 women voluntarily serving for our military services, if each made a small change, then in the end there would be a great impact on the war.
