Dixon Vuic, the TCU professor, said the story of the farmettes is often overlooked because the work was seasonal and less publicized. Generally, Vuic said, the difference between the women who worked in the factories and those who worked on the farms was their socioeconomic status. Women who became the sole provider of their families during the war took the factory jobs because they paid better.

Dr. Kara Dixon Vuic, a history professor and expert on military and gender at Highpoint University, agrees. She says that many women have wanted these options for a long time. “Many women have historically pushed for greater access to the military and to combat roles because they believed service to be a duty they owed their country,” Vuic says. “They hoped that service would translate to equal citizenship, and they wanted the same benefits of service that men received.”
