Detailed explanation-1: -As the men fought abroad, women on the Home Front worked in defense plants and volunteered for war-related organizations, in addition to managing their households.
Detailed explanation-2: -The war had provided women with a range of newfound freedoms and opportunities. But as men returned home from military service, circumstances changed. Women left the workforce– voluntarily and begrudgingly – in massive numbers. Marriage rates increased, as did birthrates, within a few years.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the end of February 1946, the European phase of Magic Carpet was essentially completed. The last of the troops to return from the CBI in the Pacific-in all-would arrive home in September 1946 when Operation Magic Carpet, the largest mass movement of humanity ever attempted or accomplished, would come to an end.
Detailed explanation-4: -With millions of men away from home, women filled manufacturing and agricultural positions on the home front. Others provided support on the front lines as nurses, doctors, ambulance drivers, translators and, in rare cases, on the battlefield.
