Question
Evaluate the impact of two 20th-century wars on the role and status of women.
Markscheme
Candidates will appraise the impact on the role and status of women of two wars chosen from the timeframe of the topic. Depending on the wars chosen, candidates’ analyses of the impact on the role and status of women may extend into the early years of the 21st century. The wars chosen may or may not have occurred at the same time, but they must come from different regions. Both the role and the status of women need to be evaluated and reference may be made to the period of the duration of the war or to its aftermath, as long as there are clear links to the wars chosen. The impact of each war may be considered separately, or a thematic approach adopted comparing the various ways in which each war had an impact on women.
