Best Answer

In the USA women joined the military during WW2 in order to:

  • Serve as nurses and do administrative or aviation work in the armed forces.
  • To do jobs in the US left vacant by officers and enlisted men who left for the war front.
  • Because they wanted to serve their country and help gain victory over the enemies.

In the UK: Women enlisted for the same reasons but there were not enough women enlisted so the British Government had to conscript (draft) many more women to their armed forces.

In Australia, New Zealand, and Canada: They joined for the same reasons the American women joined.
