Dear fellow College 101 classmates and Dr. Clemente,
During the late 1940's and early 1950's women were starting to make a difference, not only in science but they also took a strong stand in the work place and military bases. This time period was very important because it was the birth place of the large amount of freedom that women have today. Women's right to vote and be an independent supporter of themselves showed greatly during this time due to the Korean war. Thanks to the Korean war, the US population had to reply on women to come into the work place and take over jobs that men that were once doing. Along with an influence in the work place women were also allowed t serve in the US armed forces. For instance in 1943 women were allowed to join the US navy. Yet, the equivlence woman shared with men in the sciences is on of the greatest obstecles we have over come.
