American Women in WWI


During World War I most of the men were off fighting in the war. Well there was one problem with this. Who was home taking care of the country, and creating new supplies for the army. Women is your answer. During WWI women stepped up and took control of a lot of things that wouldn't be able to get done due to all the men being away at war. The women did an amazing job as they took the initiative and stepped right in to take the open positions left by the men. Soon you were able to find women running factories as well as working in them. You could find them in all types of business's and even building military supplies such as tanks and munitions. Women also ran hospitals, paved streets and plowed the fields. So basically women did everything. This really changed the view of women and showed that they are capable to be in those types of positions in the working field.
