Question

In words a 12 year old can understand in 2 sentences how did world war 1 change the role of women in society? Be specific and show examples

Answer 1

When World War I took so many men away to fight, women started doing jobs men had done before—working in factories making weapons and shells, driving buses and trams, running offices, and nursing wounded soldiers—which showed they could do hard, skilled work. Because of that, countries like Britain let some women vote in 1918 and the United States passed the 19th Amendment in 1920 giving women the vote, and these changes helped women win more rights and respect in society.
