Women also got their chance to serve the war. Mothers, sisters, and loved ones willingly wrote letters to their loved ones overseas, they attended dances and helped out lonely soldiers. Although many considered that a women's duty many women wanted to help the war effort in a more useful way. For many women, the war was a time to gain strength, independence and suppleness. Many women took this as an opportunity to earn money which was not very common for women then. As more men left to fight for our country more women were called into work for factories, farms, and even baseball. Women had stepped up during America's time of need. Almost 350,000 women had put on a uniform and came to the rescue. Whether they were at home, across the country or volunteering at home they played a big part in helping with the war. Many women in uniform worked office or factory jobs so the men could go to war. Even when the war came to an end many women wanted to keep their jobs but several were forced out and to go back to homemaking. .

President Roosevelt wanted to strike back immediately. Two week after Pearl Harbor President Roosevelt called upon his arms forces commanders to discuss the repercussions for Japan.
