They were women soldiers they were essential to the war because they could do certain jobs for example ambulance drivers, nurses,radio operators,etc. This also allowed more men to join the Army.

In the beginning it was bad because they were segregated, they only got remedial jobs and weren't allowed to take part in the war but in the end thanks to the agreement that took place between Randolph and Roosevelt they began to get better jobs.
