Just a thought. What if FDR had decided to permit women to enter combat in limited roles in WW2?
I'm not talking Infantry duties or anything, but more comparable to the Soviets. Basically in roles where their "more delicate stature" wouldn't negatively affect performance, or even where their smaller average size might be a boon. For example, on tank crews, flying fighters, or maybe even all female submarine crews that might not be as adversely affected by the tight quarters.
How would this affect things in the short and long term?
