Women were not being treated equal because men got paid 25% more. In a way this created the gender pay gap. Women veterans encountered road blocks as they tried to take an advantage of benefits and programming for veterans, like the G.I .Bill . Women were not allowed to access these government benefits even though they qualified. Although the government forced them back to work in traditional roles, they found a way to work without actually labeling it as work. Many families wanted or even needed the extra income, requiring the wife to work for earnings. They called it the Tupperware home sales, where women will work from homes part-time. They did not even have to call it “work” instead they called it “having parties” (“American”). They will join together and do a home party selling Tupperware, allowing women to have income. Now Tupperware are sold everywhere. Who would have thought that it started because of the women during World War
