During World War I, women experienced both challenges and new chances while men were away fighting. Many women took on jobs that were usually held by men, like working in factories or as nurses, which helped them gain independence. However, they also faced hardships, such as long working hours, low pay, and the difficulty of balancing work and family responsibilities. Overall, these changes started to show that women could do important work and led to more rights and opportunities for them in the future.
