Introduction
Suddenly their husbands were off to war, jobs were left unfinished, households were left fatherless and women were left to figure out what to do next. It was the start of World War One and men had been called upon to serve their country. Many worried about life on the home front. What would these women do? How would our country survive?
In a male dominated society, women stepped up taking on jobs they were previously barred from. Nurses and entertainers were sent overseas and women became telephone operators in an effort to help the troops. Women were proving themselves as strong contributors and their images became plastered on posters used as propaganda for the war itself.
The strong efforts of the women in World War One brought on a new era and women became recognized as strong individuals. How would this effect our nation’s future?
Join me as we explore just how the Women of World War One changed the future of America.
