Australian Women During WWII

As a result of the war, Australian women achieved more liberation, pay rises, and more opportunities. The war brought about significant changes in society and the workforce, leading to increased recognition and rights for women. Women were able to break free from traditional gender roles and gain more independence. Additionally, the demand for labor during the war created opportunities for women to enter the workforce and pursue careers that were previously inaccessible to them. These advancements in liberation, pay, and opportunities collectively contributed to the overall progress and empowerment of Australian women.

During the war, most men were happy with the increased involvement of women in the war effort. They appreciated the support and contribution that women provided. However, their happiness was tempered by the expectation that after the war, life would return to normal and women would go back to their traditional roles.

The number of women listed in a branch of the women's services was over 66,000.

On average, women were paid half as much as men at the start of the war, and this gap increased to two-thirds by the end of the war.

The correct answer is October 1941. The Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) was established in October 1941. This service was created during World War II to allow women to serve in the Australian Army in non-combat roles. The establishment of the AWAS provided a significant opportunity for women to contribute to the war effort and support the military operations.
