During World War I, women played a crucial role in the workforce as men left for military service. With a significant labor shortage, women stepped into traditionally male-dominated jobs, including manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture, demonstrating their capabilities beyond the domestic sphere. They worked in munitions factories, served as nurses, and took on various roles that supported the war effort. This shift not only contributed to the war's logistics but also sparked a reevaluation of women's roles in society. The contributions of women during the war were instrumental in the eventual push for women’s suffrage and greater rights in the post-war period.
