Women during WWI

During World War I, women were never depended this much. The government turned to get help from every single girl. Men did all of the work outside of the home. They went to work in factories, on farms, even in offices but that soon changed. Once the men were sent to enlist, thousands of women were replaced in factories, offices, and did all of the jobs that men did. They had to build tanks, they plowed the fields on the farms, ran hospitals and made sure all of the troops were equipped with the basic essentials. (food, clothing and weapons) This changed how women were viewed. They weren't just looked at as the cook, maid and babysitter. They were now looked as handy women, and strong-willed. The war allowed them to take on new roles in society.
