  1. How did American women contribute to the war effort both at home and abroad?
Expert Solution
Introduction

The United States had maintained neutrality at the beginning of both World Wars but the compelling circumstances led it to enter the war. Before the Second World War, it had enacted the Neutrality Act in 1935 which aimed at an embargo of arms to both aggressor and victim. It continued its policy of isolation in 1937 when Japan invaded China. However, when Germany invaded neutral Poland in 1939 initiating the Second World War, it revised its embargo policy and allowed arms supply to Britain and France. Finally, with the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in December 1941, the United States discarded its isolation policy and entered the war.
