During the war, women received support from the government in various ways, including:
- The military created units of women soldiers, such as the WACs and the WASPs.
- Eleanor Roosevelt convinced leaders of the Manhattan Project to hire female chemists.
- The military created schools to train nurses so women could join the military.
- President Roosevelt started the first U.S. Government childcare services centers.
All these actions demonstrate different forms of support for women during the war, from military involvement to career opportunities and childcare services.
