about women in world war one?

Question

Where people angry ot outraged when women in australia got jobs in 1914?

Answer 1

There would have been plenty of women working before WW1. There are many jobs that were traditionally done by women. A lot of women would have been working as teachers, nurses, shop assistants (sales clerks), as domestic servants, in the clothing industry, as typists, secretaries, telephonists, etc. Many single women and some married women had to work for a living before the war.



However, many women during the war did take over jobs that had been traditionally done by men, and there were doubts expressed as to whether women were capable of doing some of those jobs. In the UK for instance, women worked in heavy industry, in farming and forestry, on the railways and the buses, as chauffeurs and van drivers. they joined the newly formed women's police force. There were certainly people who thought that women should not be doing those kind of jobs, but I think that on the whole people accepted that during an emergency, women had to take on non-traditional roles in order to help the country to survive.

Answer 2

Women are usually never in combat, however if desperate times call for desperate measures I'd imagine that would change. I also do believe that a third world war is coming based on the fact that Russia is moving missles in and out of Syria, China is silent on the whole Korean middle incident, and Obama's lack of experience not just economically, but with forgien policy as well.

Answer 3

nope. women had jobs here too. Look up Lowell Girls. We just couldn't vote...
