Best Answer

In World War 1 women took on more work that was more directed towards men and since they could do it for lower wages so companies welcomed it. Also, women helped with war efforts by nursing wounded and sometimes taking part in the war even if not directly fighting.

What was the role of Australian women during the interwar years?

The role of Australian women was the same as it had always been. The married ones were housewives or helpers in their husbands businesses or farms. The single ones worked at clerical jobs or cleaning jobs or nursing. Many women went to college to become nurses or to learn clerical duties so they could rise above the old housewife role. Some became teachers. This was true of the Australian women, The Canadian Women, The American women, New Zealand women (and perhaps South African) and the UK women. Once they learned they could work they started leaning toward going to work. The same thing happened after World War 2.

In what ways was Australia involved in World War 2 How did involvement in World War 2 change Australian society?

women played huge roles both overseas and in the homefront during WWII. It changed women's place in Australian's society. before the world war women didn't pursue careers and the jobs were the traditional roles such as nursing or clening when the 'mother country', England need Australia's support in the war, Australia sent troops over, and at this point in time onle men were permitted to fight. so when Australia came under attack there were no troops to defend the country. the cabinet of war eventually agreed to let women take over within telecommunications and over non-combat roles, to free up the men for fighting. in 1941 the Australian women's army service, the women's auiliary air force, the women's royal Australian naval service and the Australian army medical women's service (AAMWS) was formed. wen the men came back from overseas they sowly took over their old jobs leaving the women to go back to the housewive role. women demanded a bigger role in society and to be considered equals.
