I can't say much for the others, but I can expand on number six fwiw
WWII saw a labor revolution for minorities. With all the men fighting overseas and the massive wartime industry* in full bloom we needed every able-bodied person working on producing war supplies. Thus, we saw women flood the industrial workplace and Rosie the Riveter was born. After the war when the men who survived came home, factory jobs for women disappeared, relegating women back to their previous roles as housewives and secretaries. However, not all was lost for feminism! Women had proven that they could do the same work men could do- and do it dam well. This would help inspire the coming womens' rights movement, which would expand womens' employment opportunities and rights in general for years to come.
*Side note: By massive I mean ridiculously fucking huge. We're talking a (you need an account to see links) rolling off the production line every eight hours, 24/7. A hundred thousand fighter jets, a quarter million artillery, 41 trillion rounds of ammunition. If that doesn't blow your Goddam mind then you're not American
