Hi! :)

Answer: The attack occurred in relatively shallow water, allowing many of the damaged ships to be repaired and later returned to service.

The attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, dealt a major psychological blow to the United States, and caused the deaths of many servicemen.

However, regarding damage to the fleet itself, the attack wasn't a crippling blow.

First, some of the ships in the Pacific Fleet were out to sea, and were unaffected by the attack.

While many of the ships moored in Pearl Harbor were damaged to some degree, the shallow water of the harbor allowed for the recovery and repair of almost all of them.

Only three ships - the battleships Arizona and Oklahoma, and the target ship Utah - were total losses (the Utah survived the attack but sank later while being towed towards a repair location).

All other ships that were hit during the attack (a total of 29) were repaired and returned to service.

Additionally, 69 ships moored in the harbor weren't even hit during the attack.

The long struggle for copyright and, every day, a new chapter is written. At last, as conquered women or right to drive in Saudi Arabia. It seems small, but for those who depend on their husbands to come and go, it is an invaluable victory.

The origins of the feminist movement are closely linked to the claim for basic rights such as education, voting and labor. As much as there is a tendency to date it from the 1960s, acts of the last century can already be considered feminist.

The claims for women's rights began in the 18th century, but the word feminism did not appear even in the late 19th century. Considering didactically, the feminist movement has gone through three important moments throughout history.

Explain how WWII impacted the following groups:
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

World War II provided unprecedented opportunities for American women to enter into jobs that had never before been open to women, particularly in the defense industry.

Women faced challenges in overcoming cultural stereotypes against working women, as well as finding adequate childcare during working hours. Minority women also endured discrimination and dislocation during the war years.

350,000 women served in the armed forces during World War II.

After the war, many women were fired from factory jobs. Nevertheless, within a few years, about a third of women older than 14 worked outside the home.
