To what extent did world war 2 effect women's daily lives?

1.) With men away at war, there wasn't a lot of support for family
2.) with support, there wasn't much for their family
3.) High risk of rape with men gone 

It affected them quite a lot, they had to make weapons for the war, they needed to grow food because of the shortage so everyone would have enough to eat, they did play a very important role.
