What taste of freedom did women enjoy in world war ii? a. a life beyond the control of menb. the thrills and excitement of military service. c. the blessing of long-term job security. d. the perks of doing men's jobs. e. new job benefits, such as paid vacation and retirement packages?

The correct answer is (d). While women were able to serve within their own branches of service in the military during WWII, for example the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), they could not go into combat (only men could). Since the majority of eligible men were thus in combat, women back home went into the workforce to perform the men's jobs and thus keep the economy going.
