The Roles of Women in World War I
Have you ever wondered who kept the country going during WW I? Well, women filled many of the jobs and took over men’s normal roles while they were out fighting in the war. Women played many important roles during World War I by going to work for men serving in the war, by becoming actively involved in different branches of the military, and by laboring in the fields across America. One role that women took during World War I was going to work for the men who were serving in the war. Women held many important jobs and some of them were working for “the first time” in their lives (Women’s Roles on the Home Front). Between the years of 1914 to 1918, “approximately 1.6 million women joined the workforce”
