How is my article, on Women in War?

Women helped out a lot during World War II. They went from being housewives to getting jobs as mill workers, mechanics, tank drivers, ship builders, factory workers, engineers, air raid wardens, fire engine drivers, plumbers, ambulance drivers, nurses, and WRVS volunteers. Women worked in factories; they made everything from ammunition to uniforms to airplanes. Many women became nurses, and some became soldiers, some spies. While the men were away at war The All-American Girls Baseball League was formed, who would have thought that was a “job”. The government required women to work during these hard times and some women would make posters advertising jobs that they worked for, or thought would need some more help. All three services were open for women to join; the army, air force, and navy. A little over 500,000 women worked in the arm forces. In the war, women as nurses had to clean, take care of, and pack open wombs. The female soldiers were expected to do everything a male soldier would do. Other women had to do their husband's jobs while there were fighting in the war, adding to the work they already had to do. Like farming; more help was needed on the farms, such as, look after the animals, plough the fields, dig up the crops, harvest the crops, and kill the rats, dig and hoe. The government called this the Women's Land Army. This started in June 1939. Some women took care of others children, like a childcare, so that women would know their child was safe while they were at work. Actually women were responsible for America's economy in the absence of the men. Even though the women were required to work by the government I think without women the American war effort and the success of the Allies wouldn't have been possible.
