第二次世界大战暂时阻止了高中和大学毕业率的上升。本文表明，二战期间的人力动员降低了 20 世纪 40 年代初高中适龄女性的教育程度，减少了就业和收入，并改变了有关家庭组建的决定。然后，我提供了这一群体中的女性在晚年重返校园的证据，并将这些发现与二十世纪下半叶女性了解学校和工作的好处时发生的“静悄悄的革命”联系起来。 “教育一直是为国家服务的。但在全面战争的今天，这种服务具有新的意义。‘你现在在军队’并不是陈词滥调——它是国家必要性的表达。” 1
World War II temporarily halted the rise in high school and college graduation rates. This article shows that manpower mobilization for World War II decreased educational attainment among high school-age females during the early 1940s, reduced employment and earnings, and altered decisions regarding family formation. I then provide evidence that women in this cohort returned to school in later life and relate these findings to the “quiet revolution” taking place as women learned about the benefits of school and work over the second half of the twentieth century. “Education has been ever in the nation's service. But in these days of total war that service has a new significance. ‘You're in the Army now’ is no cliche–it is an expression of national necessity.” 1
