Soviet women in World War II

Women played an important role in the Soviet Union during World War II. Most worked in civilian roles in industry, transport, and agriculture, among other fields—working double or more shifts to make up for the shortage of men who were deployed on the Eastern Front. However, around 800,000 women served in the Red Army as well, with the majority working in medical units with their male counterparts.
