This article effectively displayed both sides of any disputes on the idea of women working during WWII, and did not really take sides. That supplies me with accurate information and the contrasting of different opinions, while at the same time hinting that most change did not occur until World War II ended.

economic viewpoint and it was an overview that became a good reference point of my research.
