The role of women during the Second World War The Second World War was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of humanity. It has affected millions of people around the world, directly and indirectly. half a century separates us from that unforgettable event, which left horrible memories especially in those who saw, felt and experienced the Second World War, fought on land, sea and in the air across the globe for about six years. Whether it is a battle, a hospital or a holocaust, there are so many survivor stories that can teach us not only the craft of arms, but also military preparations, global strategies and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. The interviewee went through many hardships during World War II, and sharing her extraordinary story led me to consider her words for a long time, to think back, and still not be willing to imagine the pain. She was one of 150,000 American women served in the Women's Army Corps during the war years. They were among the first to serve in the ranks of the United States Army. She remembers being teased a lot because she was a young woman in uniform, but she was very proud of it. Women were eventually given the opportunity to make an important contribution to the national question, especially the world war. It all started with a meeting in 1941 between Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers and General George Marshall, who was the Army Chief of Staff. Rogers asked the general to introduce a bill to establish a women's corps in the Army, where my interviewee, Elizabeth Plancher, really hoped to get the benefits after World War II along with other women. (Since after World War I women returned from war and were not entitled to protection or any medical benefits.) Plancher was a strong-willed woman, dedicated to her goals. He was waiting for this day to happen and finally it did making many women happy. The bill was introduced in May 1941. It was not initially considered, but the General helped push the bill through Congress. After all the paperwork, the "auditions" were passed. Applicants had to be between 20 and 40 years old. Elizabeth was 22 years old at the time. She was five feet seven inches tall and weighed about 110 pounds, which suited the position. Only 1,000 women were accepted into the special Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC).
