Prior to WWI, woman's role was to handle domestic affairs at home, to take care of the family. Some of the fortunate ones got to work in the textile manufacturing industries or as teachers in schools.
But, during the course of WWI, many men were enlisted into the army as soldiers to fight Germany assault, so there was a shortage of manpower and labor in different sectors of the economy, so women came into the helm to take over the jobs previously taken by Man. They work in the ammunition factory, offices and large aircraft hangars, which Man previously didn't believed that woman can work at that type of jobs, but by this experience, they have a different perspective towards woman, so showing the equality of the opposite sexes, that woman can do jobs that man can do. Woman were also enlisted into the Army in the form of nursing to take care of the soldiers' welfare.
