April 7 th, 1943 Dear Editor, Well done to your last informative and detailed article about the role of women during the World War 2 period. I am happily writing to you that you had wrote some points in the article that are misleading and should be corrected. I say this because I had just returned from a bloody, terrible and painful war and as I am a woman myself, I feel that I should correct some points as the role of women during World War 2 at war and role of women outside war. Also I would like to make some points as well.
Some of the points that should be corrected are as follows. The war situation was worsened not better off and us women were allowed to join the forces. In the war 66500 women served in the armed forces. There were three major women’s organizations; they were Women’s Auxiliary Australia Air Force, Australian Women’s Army Service and Women Royal Australian Naval Service.
In these forces women performed essential duties in clerical areas, transport and mechanical repairs, signals and communications and freed thousands of men for service overseas. I would also like to correct that nurses can travel overseas. It is not all women who work in the armed force cannot travel overseas. The points I would like to make are as follow. In 1942, the Australian Women’s Land Army was formed.
This army was to deal with the possibility that food production that may fall as men left farms and rural industry for war. The women also harvest vital crops and managed livestock’s and played a major role in keeping up food production in a country isolated at war. Another point I want to make is another major role for omen in war was nursing. During the war 3400 women served in the Australian Army Nursing Service. I served in this service and I went overseas to provide medical support for the troops.

Sadly, some of my friends were captured by evil Japanese soldiers and with respect, some died. Since war started women started working in factories and women moved into roles traditionally reserved for men – from bank tellers to tram drivers. More than 150000 women were employed in munitions plants and others worked in heavy industry including shipyards and repair faculties. Finally I have to say that I, myself have three children and as well as I had served in war, I have an ongoing responsibility of caring for my family and my children. I would like to say that my points are very realistic about the role of women during World War 2 and should be respected. I wish these points I have made will be published in the next issue so that the Australian people can have the true meaning about the role of women in World War 2.
Your Truly, Melinda Smith.
