Newsflash - if people that don't look like you simply /existing/ is "too woke" you might just be a massive bigot.
A person can simply superimpose a whole separate identity and preference agenda to the storyline, which - if non-historical - may be all characters from one writer, whose paintings at least aren't at all obligated to be representative samples.
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.

That was my impression, too. Is it accurate?
I think it quickly shifted to men once programming the computers got easier with digital storage and displays and keyboards.
There were a lot of women who did the equivalent of modern excel work back then though. My uncle said the company took all the secretaries and spent 2 weeks getting all the numbers in order to make the yearly report, and how he convinced them to buy a computer and he used it to get it done in a day, was in the 70's. I'd guess that transformation involved the female computers at many companies, but the programming to get that done is very simple so you don't need dedicated programmers and I wouldn't call the people working on that programmers, my uncle was a business guy and not a computer wiz he just bought a computer and followed the manual.
Uh… that describes my early training pretty well. Once Google and then StackOverflow came on the scene, replace “manual” with “searching the Internet” and it still applies.
