At the time of World War one, the Young Women Christian Association (YWCA), Patriotic League, and the Red Cross organizations were made to help the war efforts. The Red Cross for example, allowed women to work and help the war effort as nurses. As women were not seen to work in higher praised jobs that only men could do, they proved themselves to be as skilled if not more during World War one. Women worked in industries and their development was drastically spoken about in newspapers and articles. There successes and skilled efforts was commended and was beginning to change the minds of men who thought women were incapable. Women, during World War one, replaced men in skillful jobs such as railroad workers, and other machine operators. During the beginning of World War one, women were seen as incapable of holding professional jobs that men took. However, demonstrating their efforts in factories and helping the war effort showed the capability of women to work in any job that was traditionally for women. Throughout World War one, women gained the positions of being doctors, lawyers, and bankers. These job opportunities during World War one gave women a chance to show the male-dominated society that they were proficient and were able to more than staying at home and raising their children. Throughout World War one, women had played a vital role in helping the war and its soldiers. Women also played a key role in helping the

World War I is one of the most tragic and glorious war’s there has been, with the exception of World War II. World War I was the first time when various nations joined together to defeat another set of nations, it symbolizes the beginning of international relations, communication and unity between countries. Kimberly Jensen’s book, Mobilizing Minerva: American Women in the First World War, illustrates the challenges women had to do face to help win the war for the Allies and how suffrage was not only at home.

There were two main ways in which the women in Australia made a lasting impact on the Australian home front. In 1914 24% of Australian women worked, however in 1918 37% of women in Australia worked which is a 13% increase throughout the war. The reason why the number of women working increased was due to the lack of men in the workforce and many women had to take over the vacancies or the Australian economy would have lost a large amount of the work force and would have had a recession throughout the war. In 1914 the Red Cross was created to contribute towards the war effort in Europe and by the end of the war there were over 200 charities operating throughout Australia. Many women volunteered with different charities as a way of increasing the moral of Australian troops fighting in Europe by sending welfare packages which included socks, cigarettes and food.

They were interested in killing people and the pay. Eventhough Germany didn’t do anything to Australia people had hatred of them and wanted to kill them. On Source 13A Corporal RE Antill says,’ I am itching to get a dig at a few Germans.’ Everyone had the ‘war fever’ and desired to fight. They felt that it was good pay if you fought in the war. On Source13A Corporal RE Antill also says,’ … its not bad money here 5/- a day and clothes and food…’ Serving in the war could earn you almost as much money as a cabinetmaker and it is half the amount of work. Although slightly below the basic wage, it was still appealing to many because they were struggling financially. In the modern era people are more aware of the consequences and you don’t earn much money so people are less willing to serve in

Australian Women in the workforce: What jobs were available for women in world war 2 and how did the end of the war impact Australian Women in the workforce?

World War One was regarded as an unnecessary and useless killing spree, where over billions of people gave their lives, only to gain a few km of overall land. World War One may have been one of the most horrible events in world history, but it was also a huge turning point for everyone on earth, and women were some that got impacted the most. They were finally viewed as legal persons, and many got recognized for their valuable contribution to the war efforts. Without them at our side to aid us, the world war could have ended any decency left in our world. Even with all the death and destruction, if WW 1 had not occurred, much of the world would not have the advantages that they have today. One of the most important changes that happened after WW 1 was the ending of most women’s suffrage, granting women

As women were finally recognised for their contributions as nurses and medical aids, they were provided with a sense of importance and their position in society was elevated. Without the women who courageously partook in these organisations, the casualty rates would have been much higher, so the services that these women provided were undeniably invaluable. Because women played such an instrumental role in World War 1, the war became a time when women's roles that were previously thought to be mundane were finally acknowledged and respected, bringing a whole new level to women's empowerment.

WWI was a trying, and difficult time for all people, especially with the unnecessary casualties, but it was also one of the moments in history where women finally got to step up to the plate after a lot of discrimination against their gender, a thing no can control. When men had gone to fight in the war, women were recruited in abundance. There was some clash between whether women should or should not have jobs that were considered “men's work”, but ever since the Conscription Crisis, women workers were massively needed. Which meant manual labor such as working heavy machinery in engineering. There were also many other jobs that were opened up to women, such as tram conducting,

During World War One Women joined the military and took the role as nurses. Women started to work as accountants, telephone operators, and steel mill workers.

Although women were not allowed to vote during the World War 1, their successful work in World War played an important impact for expanding American women roles in the military and developing the military acceptance of women in women service

When the First World War began in 1914, there was much discussion regarding the proper gender roles for British men and women. For men, the course of action seemed clear that they should enlist and fight. Yet, many men struggled under the pressure of warfare. For women, it was unclear how they should be involved in the war effort. Many men wanted the women to keep their traditional gender roles of taking care of the household. However, the lack of male workers on the home front required women to take on different work roles. The women received a great deal of praise and positive attention for their work as nurses, munitions workers, and military auxiliaries. However, men were critical

World War I made a colossal impact on all aspects of human life and almost everyone in Europe was affected by this impact to different degrees as a consequence. One group in particular, most often illustrated as a real turning point, largely in enfranchisement and employment, were women.

Millions of women before 1914 had taken over jobs that men had already stereotypically done. For example, some women had newer occupations such as typists, telephonists and shop workers. A small number of women were already attending university and entering careers such as medicine and teaching. The war just accelerated this. The concept of the war, meant that women were needed, both in larger numbers and also new kinds of work.

Australia had always acknowledge Britain as the “mother country”. When Britain declared war on Germany for invading Poland, Australia was announced to be at war by the former Prime Minister, Gordon Menzies. “Fellow Australians, it is my melancholy duty to inform you officially that, in consequence of the persistence of Germany in her invasion of Poland, Great Britain has declared war upon her, and that, as a result, Australia is also at war.”
