Women Work for Victory in WWII
During World War II, thousands of women joined the workforce, many working in jobs previously reserved for men. This exhibition explores their story.
From the fields to the factories, the armed services to the home, women produced the food, clothing and munitions that supplied both the Allied troops in the Pacific region and the civilian population. Many of these jobs were difficult and dangerous, but thousands of women responded to the call.
Women Work for Victory in World War II was researched and curated by the Old Treasury. It was funded by the Victorian Government’s 75th Anniversary of the End of World War Two Grant Program.
