Table of Contents	War jobs for women -- Serving Uncle Sam -- In the war industries -- In business and the professions -- As volunteers.
Summary	Every American woman wants to help win the war. The problem is how and where to fit into that big word which is daily growing bigger -- Womanpower. Many women already are on the jobs they can do best and are putting in full time. Some women still have odd hours in which they could give volunteer patriotic service. Great numbers of women who have hitherto been in the home are taking full time jobs to free men for combat duty as the country's warfare becomes more intensive. Greater numbers need to plan now for such service... Since America continues to be a land of initiative, the final catalogue of the jobs that women do in this war will be what women make it. Furthermore the place of women in the war industry picture changes so fast that there is no keeping absolutely up to date. This memorandum, therefore, is not even an attempt at an exhaustive catalogue of women's war jobs, but is rather a guide to indicate some of the avenues opening to women, some of the typical jobs in them, and some of the sources of further information.--p. 3.
