Australian women enjoyed traditional ‘women’s war roles’ (popular in WWI) such as preparing food, knitting, first aid and fundraising for the servicemen. By 1940, many women wanted to assist by doing more. As war proceeded, more than 500,000 Australian women (married and single) worked in industries such as munitions, shipbuilding, and air craft construction

that Christianity has been positive for the most part, however, I am confused on whether or not you are aware of certain sections of the bible involving it's view on marriage, slavery, and women's rights.
