Women in World War 1

World War 1 started in 1914, and women had to take a stand and support the men and the war in numerous ways. Women worked to help by taking military auxiliary jobs such as factory workers, nurses, and harvesting and producing food. Participating as a factory worker was dangerous and could be harmful if an explosion occurred because it would trigger other explosions in the other factories. In a factory a woman could work in the ammunition factory or as power machine operators. Since the war was occurring, the rate for nurses was increasing. Working as a nurse would require knowing basic medical treatment and it was an unpaying position. With so many men off fighting, women had to help harvest and produce food. Since there was a decline in men workers, women had to work and support their country.
