INTRODUCTIONThe ability of women to have equal rights in the United States has long been a debated issue. Until recently, a right guaranteed by international law was not granted to American women, while some critics believe that women still do not enjoy equal rights to this day. However, elsewhere, women in other countries, such as Saudi Arabia, have far fewer rights than American women. To fully understand the many factors involved in the fight for equal rights for women in America, the purpose of this anthropological investigation is to answer the following research question: cultural traits and processes of cultural change for American women inflicted by World War II Did this era allow them to achieve social and economic equality in the United States? Anthropological theory used: Historical particularism The investigation refers to the theory of historical particularism of Franz Boas. The definition of historical particularism is as follows: Historical particularism is an approach that was developed by Franz Boas as an alternative to global theories of sociocultural development espoused by both evolutionists and extremist diffusionists, which he believed to be simply unprovable. Boas believed that overcoming this problem required conducting detailed regional studies of individual cultures in order to discover the distribution of cultural traits and understand the individual processes of cultural change at work. Questioning women's approach during World War II to achieving equal rights does not require addressing global theories of sociocultural development, unlike most anthropological studies; However, a valid body of research instead involves carrying out detailed regional studies of cultural traits to understand the ...... middle of article ......nt, propaganda provides an example of the extremely important role that women played during World War II. During the war, 18 million American women, also known as “Rosie the Riveters,” served in the American workforce. Propaganda, that is, posters, songs and even films, commemorated the success achieved by women in defense factories. Slogans such as "We can do it" and "Women in war: we can't win without them" accelerated women's energy and rallying cries. Historians believe that without the efforts of women, the vital economy of the home front could have collapsed, eventually causing the disintegration of American war production, with very detrimental consequences. The propaganda disseminated during this era illustrates the success of women, as the opportunities afforded to them helped save the domestic economic front as well as liberate American women..
