Explanation:

In this case we are talking about the women status in post period of World War II

During this period, women were doing similar and same jobs as men, trying to be in the field of industry and other "men's" jobs as much as possible to earn money for their family while male workers were absent. However, right before and after the war, they were forced to give up their jobs and positions to leave space for man ( and their occupations) returning from the war.

As the economy began to grow after the World War II and jobs grew, this situation soon stabilized.
