Women’s role prior to World War I Prior to the First World War women’s role in society in western countries was generally confined to the domestic sphere (but not necessarily their own home) and to certain types of jobs: ’Women’s Work’. In Great Britain for example‚ just before World War I‚ out of an adult population of about 24 million women‚ around 1.7 million worked in domestic service‚ 800‚000 worked in the textile manufacturing industry‚ 600‚000 worked in the clothing trades‚ 500‚000 worked

Women in Uniform and Out As the war raged across Europe‚ America came to the realization that in order to win they were going to have to change how they thought about women. During the first year of the war women were allowed to do very few jobs for the armed forces‚ this however changed the following year. America saw that it did not have enough man to do all the jobs that men were needed for and the only answer to this problem was to have women take over were they could. During the war a

Lastly Barbed wire was another example which is also used today for protection. Barbed wire was first created by a farmer on Illinois in 1874. Its original purpose was to control his flocks; however during the beginning of the First World War‚ it was used to slow down enemy soldiers by blo9cking the trenches.

World war 1- diseases and women’s roles Even when the soldiers were not being attacked it was still very hard to survive during World War 1. During world war 1 the disease of the trenches started going around. The soldiers had to live in trenches that were built in the ground‚ these holes were filled with water. The soldiers had to stand in these holes almost all day which meant they had their feet wet and cold all the time. When it was time to rest they could finally take their shoes off the only

WOMEN IN THE WAR In the present day Australian armed forces‚ women are trained to use high powered weapons‚ to drive trucks and tanks and aero planes‚ and to engage in combat. Women serve as officers and as ordinary soldiers‚ sailors and aircrew personnel. In 1914‚ however‚ a women’s place was not considered to be on the battlefield‚ but in the home. No women at all served with the Anzacs‚ other than nurses‚ but nurses did not have an army rank. During world war one; many women felt that they

Women played an important role during the First World War and while many of the gains they made were lost it was an important time that showed women could do work outside of the home on a larger scale than ever before.

From the article written by Chris N Truman‚ “Dogs in World War One”‚ an estimated 53‚000 dogs were utilized by 1918 for specific missions depending on the dog’s size‚ intelligence and trainability. These roles included sentry dogs‚ scout dogs‚ messenger dogs‚ casualty dogs‚ and mascot. Sentry dogs patrolled using a short leash and a firm hand.
