After WWII, with aid going to European countries, and with US's
housing market booming with new constructions, I believe US's
"manpower" was in short supply, and these production activities are
the reason for more females entering the workplace.

From historical tidbits employers were selective when a female was
hired.  For instance, a non married female might be preferred over a
married female.  At nursing schools, virgin females only, if possible.
