During the Second World War, the movement of women from the role of homemaker into an active participant on the homefront was a common theme on all sides. As the men were sent into combat roles, the women were moved into roles of conservation of resources, actively joining the production of armaments, and into the military as nurses. Below are some famous propaganda pieces in this vein that demonstrate this common theme across the board.
