Chapter Chapter 17 in The History of Work, 2010, pp 231-249 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Second World War had created an upheaval in the way people worked. Millions of servicemen had moved out of full-time jobs into the armed forces. Millions of men and women in the occupied countries had been subjected to forced labor. Millions of people had tasted something different in their lives that would change their attitudes irreversibly. Men had labored in prison camps and in the jungle, women had done men’s work and had done it well.
