Women Employment Rise During World War I Largely ignored by the Government, women did not become involved in war work on a huge scale until after the first year of war. To begin with their growth in the workplace was confined to the munitions factories and voluntary work. However, women wanted to do more than simply knit socks and raise money for the boys at the Front. Their chance came after the famous 'Shell Scandal' in 1915 which increased the need for army recruits

Factors Leading to Women's Suffrage I personally think that it was not only the war that got women the vote, but it was a large factor.
