Changing role of women

Question 1

Why did the role of women change during WW1?

Answer 1

Deselected workforce- women stepped up to fill jobs by men (mechanics, police women, conductors or trams and buses)
Food shortages- women became farmers
Demand for ammunition-women worked in factories
Work on the western front- served as nurses
Greater freedom- skirts alone smoke drink
Right to vote- due to war work
