Absolutely bizarre thing to say. The first liberation of women in the US was 1837 when women were allowed to control their own property. The second big liberation was securing the right to vote in 1920.
The issue with what you say is how women were treated after the “boys” came home. As other responses pointed out Women have always worked. The change was the type of work.
They were forced out of their new roles. This was not liberating at all. In fact, it was quite the opposite know your place kind of adjustment.
I suppose you could make an argument that this created an eventual backlash where the first women won the right to equal pay in 1961-2.
You have a point about more women working after this time, but it was not equal as they were forced into “pink” color jobs. I would argue the war really lead to more exploitation of women.
Hitler’s murder crusade inadvertently lead to women being exploited even more than they were before by US capitalism. I suppose it did prove that women could do the job of men, even if their society didn’t respect them.
