Where did women play a major role in ww2?

In most any place, doing any thing you can name. Women filled jobs in factories, offices and at farms. Women filled many non-combat jobs in the military, such as clerks, transport pilots, mechanics and drivers (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was a driver). In some nations, such as the Soviet Union, they served in combat roles, such as Lyudmila Pavlichenko, one of the deadliest snipers of all time.
