So Europe is still more or less a crapsack world for Jews, with the US not that far behind.
European women would certainly have played a major role in the war effort, especially with the war itself having lasted so much longer. We could expect feminism to be much stronger in the old continent than in the new, unless the times of unrest would have caused a return to more conservative values.

Do you think anything analogous to the Civil Rights movement or Stonewall could have occurred? I have serious doubts, especially concerning the latter. That and 2nd and 3rd wave feminism are fights of the postmodern world, which is certainly not a stage PoW has reached yet. The only aspect in which PoW might be better than our reality, is religious extremism, which hasn't yet picked off.

I just remembered most of what we call human rights don't have much legal or even conceptual existence here. The distant Hague conventions of 1899 and 1907 are not so present in the minds.

All this is rather problematic though, as Persia has already enacted what now seem ultraprogressive laws, like sanctions against sexual assault, financial independence for women, the depenalization of homosexuality, a minimum wage, and so on. If the debate doesn't exist yet, I could hardly conjure the solutions out of thin air.
