The correct response is: Women did the jobs of male workers who became soldiers. During World War II, many women in Indiana, as well as across the United States, took on roles that were traditionally held by men who had gone off to fight in the war. This included jobs in factories, shipyards, and other industries that were crucial for wartime production. The war significantly changed women's roles in the workforce and helped pave the way for future advancements in women's rights.
