Prior to the first wave of feminism, with few exceptions, women were not able to enter the general workforce. When America became involved in World War II, however, men abandoned their jobs in the factories, farms, and businesses in order to fight in the war. Meanwhile, women replaced men in those positions and were encouraged to work in fields that traditionally were closed to them. Thus, women were able to overcome the obstacle of discrimination. Because of their hard work, I now have the opportunity to enter any career field of my choosing.
