How did world war 2 change life fo women and minorities in the u. s.

When the men left for the war, the women took over their jobs including firemen and baseball players. This gave women and minorities a sense of "I can do the same work" and women in particular didn't stay home as a housewife and raise kids no longer. Women became powerful leaders and took on typical men jobs. 

Hope this helped!
