"Over 6 million women who had never worked for wages before took jobs, married women's labor force participation doubled, and unions gained 2.2 million women in a matter of 4 years.

Introduction
After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States declared war on Japan and the country launched a massive war effort – sending millions of men to military training camps and building factories to produce planes, tanks, military vehicles, ships, and weapons. As a result of men leaving their jobs there was a need for women to take the places of the men who had to fight the war. This paper delves into the jobs those women were assigned to, including the women who worked in factories in and around Paterson, New Jersey. This paper also focuses on other issues related to women and the war effort at home during World War II.
Leadership Assessment Definition of Leader
In order to know the type of skills that characterize a leader one first has to know what a ‘leader' means, but, as Van Wart (2003) points out, leaders vary from age to age and from country to country and cannot be pinned down in a quantitative manner. Definitions and perspective of leadership, therefore, have transitioned through various paradigms from the great man theories that debated whether leaders were born or made, to transformational leadership that asserted that the leader was the one who not only led his follower but also changed him (Schein, 1985). Other historical theories of leadership categories revolved around some of the following: Great Man: that leadership was innate and could not be taught (Pre-1900); Trait: that leadership depends on certain traits (1900-1948); Contingency: that leadership is formed by one's environment (1948-80's); and transformational: that the leader has to be capable of transforming society and individuals. From the 1978to present, the idea was that the leader has to be visionary inspiring others to follow (1978-present); that he has to be a servant (i.e. exemplary); and that leadership consists FO making the follower centeral to the leaser's oriject whatsoever that may be.
