Would modern conscription include women equally?

Would states draft men and women equally in a future major war?

Probably, and World War II already offers precedents for extensive female mobilization, though political choices would shape the exact system.

Equal conscription is judged fair, though politics could alter how a future draft is designed. British women served in the Land Army, the Auxiliary Territorial Service, anti-aircraft units, dispatch work, and aircraft delivery during World War II. The Soviet Union provides a still broader example of women being mobilized for military service. These precedents show that wartime manpower systems have long extended beyond drafting men into frontline infantry.
