What was the role of women on the home front during World War 2?

Throughout the second World War, women have played an integral part in the morale of the country. Hollywood often depicted women as patriotic real life "Rosie the Riveters". During this time more and more women were entering the workforce in order to aid the United States. Therefore Propaganda films were essential to the recruitment of women and the injection of the pro-American message of national unity. This period not only saw the inclusion of strong war-related messages in Hollywood films but also in the main subject matter of many documentaries and short films.
