Milwaukee Area Women in World War II

This exhibit explores the roles and hardships women endured during the Second Wolrd War. With men being drafted overseas, women came together to fill the empty positions of the workforce and contribute to the war effort. Answering the patrotic call to make 'America Great Again,' women took it upon themselves to provide assistance in any way possible. They were employeed in manufacturing and industrial plants, enlisted as nurses, served in the armed forces, volunteered through the Red Cross, kept families together and broke stereotypes.
