The war had a dramatic impact on women. The sudden appearance of large numbers of women in uniform was easily the most visible change. The military organized women into auxiliary units with special uniforms, their own officers, and, amazingly, equal pay. By 1945, more than 250,000 women had joined the Women's Army Corps (WAC), the Army Nurses Corps, Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service (WAVES), the Navy Nurses Corps, the Marines, and the Coast Guard. Most women who joined the armed services either filled traditional women's roles, such as nursing, or replaced men in non-combat jobs. During the first world war, the first demonstations were held to give women the right to vote.

Women also substituted for men on the home front. For the first time in history, married working women outnumbered single working women as 6.3 million women entered the work force during the war. The war challenged the conventional image of female behavior, as "Rosie the Riveter" became the popular symbol of women who abandoned traditional female occupations to work in defense industries. Social critics had a field day attacking women. Social workers blamed working mothers for the rise in juvenile delinquency during the war.

Does the segregation of Mexican-American public school children in the absence of a state law mandating their segregation violat
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Segregation of Mexican American children in schools would violate both California Law and Federal Law.

Explanation:

In Mendez vs Westminster, the Supreme Court ruled, 8 years before Brown vs Board of Education, that segregated schools were unequal. The Court primarily relied on evidence that Mexican American children were having problems to learn english because of lack of exposure.

In Brown vs Board of Education, the SCOTUS finally prohibited segregated schools accross the United States, because the Court considered that said schools were inherently unequal even if they equal in quality (facilities, teachers, materials), thus, they were a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

Segregated schools are forbidden by law in any state.
