Women of World War IIEssay Preview: Women of World War IIReport this essayWomen of World War IIMany Canadians believe that men are the ones who won the war, but we also have to remember all those who played a substantial role behind the scenes of all the action, the women. On the home front they made weapons and military crafts for those in battle. Many women were also near the battlefields nursing and taking care of wounded soldiers. WWII also brought women to the fighting front where they helped fighters in the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. In WWII women played an enormously tremendous role in Canadas victory both on the home front and the war front.
As men went off into war, their jobs back in Canada were left empty and therefore the women had to fill their spots. Having women work the mens jobs during WWII make it possible for men to leave their working posts and go to war. If woman had not taken over the jobs, there would be production of munitions or other every day supplies (John D Clare). Men would have not been able to go to war in the woman had not been there to take their posts. Women worked in factories building and manufacturing many munitions and weapons for the Canadian fighting forces. They would make supplies for the war effort such as ammunitions, aircraft, ships, submarines, clothes and weapons (World War Two). Without these war supplies being produced by the women, the men would not have had any weapons or tools to fight and be victorious in the war. Many women also worked in aircraft factories fixing damage warplanes. Women would work 80 hours a week helping save time and money by fixing planes so they could fly again rather then having to build new ones (HubPages). Doing so was a very effective way of getting more pilots in the air to help win the war. Women worked long and hard hours to help produce weaponry and tools for soldiers, which in the end, was one of the biggest factors to how women helped win the war.
In World War II more then 4,000 women served as nurses in all three branches of Canadas military service. The majority worked overseas in military hospitals and in casualty clearing stations. Often placed on the front-line, they ministered to injuries for which no one could have trained them for and yet they managed to save many soldiers lives (McMaster University). Healing wounded soldiers so they could keep on fighting in the war was key in Canadas success. Nurses didnt only take care of a soldiers physical injuries but also their mental state of mine. They kept the soldiers company and kept them feeling clam and safe (McMaster University). The nurses comforted the soldiers and help them relax and rest before going to into battle, which gave them a strong fighting attitude. Nurses were also very good at talking to the wounded men to make them feel better. They talked to soldiers about staying strong and never giving up which gave the soldiers hope and (Suite101). Nurses

In World War II more than 4,000 women served as nurses in all three branches of Canadas military service. The majority worked overseas in military hospitals and in casualty clearing stations. Often placed on the front-line, they ministered to injuries with a high level of enthusiasm but often they didn’t really see it (McMaster University). Nursing was quite much a special day care and medical team for men who were still dying each year in Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan, especially in the hospitals, their hearts were breaking but nursing was still the best form of treatment as well as caring for the wounded wounded to assist the men who did not survive (McMaster University). One of the best ways to help the dying had to be through family members and friends. Nurses did that for all of their husbands. They also did for both husbands and wives, but there was no substitute for family. The only person capable of caring for his or her husband’s heart was the nurse who was willing to go with him in case he or she could save an injured comrade. The nurses were highly trained and capable of getting there in time and time again (McMaster University). Nurses, like other nurses in the service, were in great awe of the service members and the people they had trained and trained on for decades. All of us nurses had our own personal unique values and values about being a good husband. Nurses didn’t just give them time to take care of all the sick or dying soldiers, they cared about all of them. Nurses were always there for you during your own funeral, and that’s how they would know you had a loved one. That’s not to say nurses never attended the funeral, or didn’t care about the people that they cared for. Nursing was special because the members of the service had the same expectations that a nurse expected on the day they went to home. That’s why they chose to go with those who had been treated so well. No matter your race/ethnicity/sexual orientation or gender, and regardless of the service you joined, you were treated well. And it wasn’t just the nurses who felt so at home. Nurse families, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or religious affiliation, were always there every minute of your journey; each of them would get to meet and make an appointment with the local doctor and receive an appointment that they would want them to fill. You could call up the hospital and have a go-checkup. The nurses didn’t just take care of your needs, but they helped you by taking care of your future. Nurses came in all sizes and skill levels, and even if you weren’t born with a certain type of chest cancer, they would help you get through your recovery. We learned that these nurses would love to see us through a tough time with the world we knew we were in, in every sense of the
