The more than 25,000 US women who served in Europe in World War I did so on an entrepreneurial basis, especially before 1917.
Women were encouraged to become nurses. They were then sent out to the field hospital near the front lines where they took care of the wounded.
Women played a major role on the home front in the Great War. Because most of the men were off fighting, the women took over their jobs, in factories mainly. This was important because without the production of equipment the men could not fight. Other jobs included nurses which is significant because they were needed on the front to help the wounded men. This is important because it was the first time women played a major role in the army. They also took over a lot of the agricultural jobs.
At the end of the war when the remaining men came back, the women had made a long lasting impression and as a result received a lot more rights such as voting.
