WWII affected women in a great way! During his time of war, the women at home helped build big planes and bullets and artillery shells being used by their boyfriends or husbands or brothers and fathers in Germany fighting. But also this gave the woman the time to stand up for women's rights and to fight for equality of pay and work. without the women's help in the factories back at home our army would have been in trouble overseas.

Common Sense
Common Sense
was an instant best-seller. Published in January 1776 in Philadelphia,
nearly 120,000 copies were in circulation by April. Paine's brilliant
arguments were straightforward. He argued for two main points: (1)
independence from England and (2) the creation of a democratic republic.
Paine avoided flowery prose. He wrote in the language of the people,
often quoting the Bible in his arguments. Most people in America had a
working knowledge of the Bible, so his arguments rang true. Paine was
not religious, but he knew his readers were. King George was "the
Pharaoh of England" and "the Royal Brute of Great Britain." He touched a
nerve in the American countryside.
