The question is in the category "World War I". The US did not allow women into the "army" proper at the time; they instead joined the Women's Army Corps and were assigned to non-combat positions (mostly clerical and other "service" roles).
On January 24, 2013, the US Secretary of Defense officially removed the ban on women serving in combat positions, but the details and ramifications of this are still working themselves out. There's currently no legal bar to women joining the US Army, nor is there one for women in the US Army from "going to war" (by which I assume you mean taking part as official combatants), but it may take some time for the new rules to be fully implemented.
