Can you elaborate on the oppressed genders, plural, that were recognised and included due to WW1 and 2? Female I imagine is one. Which others? And even then it was only the Soviets having women fight.


I only intended to mean females and that plural is an error.

Edit: The Soviets and resistance groups had women fight, but most countries had women in the armed forces and filling roles previously male only. Outside the military there was a pressing manpower shortage and women filled roles that were previously male only. Post war not everyone wanted to give up the positions they had filled and done excelled at.
