Did women get same pay as men during world war 2?

During World War II, women often did not receive the same pay as men for similar work. While many women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers and took on roles traditionally held by men, they were frequently paid less than their male counterparts. The government and industries sometimes justified this wage disparity by arguing that men were the primary breadwinners. However, the war did help to raise awareness about gender pay inequality, leading to post-war movements advocating for equal pay.
