What changes took place in the kinds of jobs women held before and during World War 2?

Before World War II, women had jobs in what was considered their areas. They were secretaries, stenographers, teachers, and homemakers. During World War II, women were needed in factories doing physical, manual labor while the men were off at war. They also entered the workplace as cab drivers, and bus drivers. Before the war, it was very uncommon to see females in these roles.
