Although it was simply a one-hour television drama in the nineties, a program called Homefront, depicting life in the fictional Ohio town of River Run just after the ending of World War Two really dwelt on the struggle of one woman who had been an exemplary factory floor worker during the war, and her resistance to being moved back into the secretarial pool when the boys came home.

(Now that I thin about it, gender equality, racial equality, introduction of the union at the local plant, inter-racial romances and the reaction to it were all given strong story lines... not much of that on telly anymore)
