During World War II, women are drawn in increasing numbers into the workforce and into roles once denied to them. Historians who have studied this period conclude that the workforce remains segregated, although some categories of employment switch over to women like Rosie the Riveter's jobs. Women workers are always thought of as temporary. The men who are off fighting keep their seniority and get their jobs back when they return. Although the trend of women working drops after the war, the experience has long-term effects in terms of the satisfaction women feel and their attempts to earn equal pay.
