"Women replaced men as workers in factories."

During World War I, large numbers of men went to the front, and women stepped into jobs vacated in munitions plants, shipyards, railways, public transport, and other industries. (They did not generally fight in combat, and although many women entered industrial work in much larger numbers, it was not literally the first time women had worked in industry, nor did they typically become the primary earners in most households.)
