Answer:

Womens gained the ability to have jobs.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Second World War, women proved that they could do "men's" work, and do it well.

With men away to serve in the military and demands for war material increasing, manufacturing jobs opened up to women and upped their earning power.

Answer:

they gained women's suffrage (voting!!)

Why?

In particular, World War II led many women to take jobs in defense plants and factories around the country. These jobs provided unprecedented opportunities to move into occupations previously thought of as exclusive to men, especially the aircraft industry, where a majority of workers were women by 1943.
