| dc.description.abstract | The present dissertation had shed light on the issue of women’s status during and after the Second World War in America through Emily Yellin’s book Our Mothers’ War: American Women at the Front during World War II,by highlighting the major historical events that influenced women’s position since the colonial beginnings of America. The Second World War was the most important event in which women made a major contribution and experienced great changes in their roles. It cannot be denied that some historians argued that women’s participation in thewar was just temporary empowerment, while others noted the great positive impact women got from their contribution in the war. For this reason, our dissertation focused on the impact of women’s participation in the Second World War on their position and on women’s rights movement, referring to the theory of new historicism and feminism.In the opening chapter we have shown that the historical events prior the Second World War developed women’s status, but not to the same extent as the World War II did. Inthe second chapter, according to Yellin’s book, we have displayed women's large-scale workforce participation during the war and its impact on their roles and personalities.In the final chapter we have discussed the transition and the contraction in the women’s functions in the post war prior referring to Yellin’s examination of that era, and highlighting the situation that women unwanted and rejected in their struggles. As a conclusion, we have noted that women in the World War II experienced the feminist proclamations and paved the way for the women’s rights movement in the decades following the war | |
