A research question is something you as the writer come up with to focus your essay. It should go beyond something like "explain your topic." You of course want to explain your topic as part of your essay, but the research question covers the overall argument you are making with your paper.
The list you provided is a good starting point for research. Do some brief reading to find out information on the topic, such as jobs held, and figure out what subtopics provide you with plenty of research material. Once you find something that can be easily researched and also interests you, you can formulate your question.
Think of every essay as a way to persuade your reader of something. What can you persuade someone about Australian women in World War 2? With this mindset, create a question that is narrow enough to focus on and argue. So instead of "what did women do in the war" try "what jobs did women take to help the war effort."
