In 1914 women were still regarded as 'belonging' to their husbands and very few worked outside the home, if they did it was as teachers, nurses etc. and then only single women, middle class married women did not work. Working class married women might clean or take in laundry. During World War I many men went off to war and the women had to take over the jobs that they did. Things like working in factories, driving buses etc. Of course many of the men did not come back so the women had to continue with the work. Many women were now widowed so they had to work to support the family. Finally, many of the women enjoyed the work they did outside the home and the added responsibility, so they were not as willing to go back to the old ways.

This also started the breakup of extended families as people had to move where the jobs were. This really all started with the Industrial Revolution and is still going on today.
