I recall that most war movies I seen tend to have women in the resistance movements, especially the french one. The only place where there are only men is those that were drafted since the military draft only forced men to go to war. For shots focusing on the factories, again women tend to be featured. With most young men was drafted into the military front, and much of the civil industry being diverted to produce war material, women was critical to fill in the need for workers. Top Secret Rosies seem to be illustrating that fact. One major demographic that old war movies tend to not show is children. When half the work group is drafted, and the other half is diverted to do both the civil and the war production (and everything else in private life), children were not just playing in the fairground or studying in school. It is however not very nice to illustrate child labor, so old and new war films tend to avoid that.
