The development that caused the greatest change in America society in the immediate postwar years is the entry of women in the workforce. Before women were expected to stay home and very few actually had jobs but after the wars they began to step out behind men's shadow. Furthermore WWI showed women and the rest of the world that women were actually useful in the workplace. When the men went to fight the women had to fill their positions and I think that these actions gave women empowerment to be demanded that they be treated equally to men.
I also believe that women into the workforce caused the greatest change in American society in the immediate postwar years because from the beginning, women were always struggling to gain status, respect, and rights in their society. The years during and following the war marked a turning point in the battle for equality. Women, for once, were being seen as individuals with capabilities outside the kitchen, and we're for the first time given a chance to prove themselves.
The migration to the suburbs is the greatest change in america society because it is when the " middle class" is developed. Meaning that when people began to move to these area's, they are showing that they have some finical stability, but aren't poor or super rich. This caused the greatest change because it gave "poor" people the hope that there is an social area that they can be in considered not so rich yet not poor. When i give this statement i mean this only qualified for whites because when blacks came to the suburbs, they were not greeted with warm feelings. As a result America was about to change so much with in the next fifty or so years.
I agree with khadija that the moment to the suburbs had the greatest change in postwar society. This is because with the creation of classes. Instead of their only being rich, affluent, and a tiny middle class population, there was now a greater middle class. This made a clear depiction of the united states' capitalist qualities that still hae an affect on society today.

I personally beleive that women joining the work force caused the greatest change in American society. While the men were away at war it was up to the women to maintain the home life. Getting jobs and becoming the head of the household showed that women were able to do more than cater to their husbands.After the war, most women returned home, after being let go from their jobs. Their jobs, again, belonged to men. Women had proven that they could do the job and within a few decades, women in the workforce became a common sight.
The entry of women into the workforce. Women have always been part of the workforce as very few had independent careers outside of the home or were involved in what could be described as domestic labor. The increase of women in the general working population have caused the rate of industrialization to increase as well. With Americas' involvement in WWII and with the large numbers of men into the armed forces, women keep the domestic industry moving and also helped supply the fight. This allowed people to realize that women too had the skills to perform jobs as well as any other men had done before. It raised the awareness of the inequality between men and women, not only in the workplace but in wider social issues.
I think the greatest change in American society in the immediate postwar would be the entry of women into the workforce. Before, Women were not allowed to interfere with the Americans society or workforce, their job was to stay home and do housework. However, as we progress into the 1900’s, women’s independent has grown from then, and their determination is stronger than ever. During the Great War, women were able to participate in various domestic labor and armed forces. And as a result, they’ve proved that they can do the same work that the men do.
I am in agreement with Khadijah that migration was importaint because one it demonstrated stability, two it allowed for the exspanion of individualismm. In a city people are often pressured to conform to one way of thinking. In the suburbs you are provided independence in though and way of living. Thoes who migrated can develope their american dream without the interference or suffication from others.
I agree with dianna that the womens's movement was the more pregressive movement. The women's movement was significan bucause it change the views and gender standard of Americans. Over all the women's movement continues to develope and change today due to the original Women's movement.
I think the entry of women into the workforce was the greatest change in American society because one-fourth of Americans in the workforce were women. The men believed that women only had a role in the kitchen, cleaning up the house and/or taking care of the children while the husband was at work.
