As in World War One, women played a vital part in this country's success in World War Two. But, as with World War One, women at the end of World War Two, found that the advances they had made were greatly reduced when the soldiers returned from fighting abroad.
At the end of World War Two, those women who had found alternate employment from the normal for women, lost their jobs. The returning soldiers had to be found jobs and many wanted society to return to normal. Therefore by 1939, many young girls found employment in domestic service - 2 million of them, just as had happened in 1914. Wages were still only 25p a week.
When women found employment in the Civil Service, in teaching and in medicine they had to leave when they got married.

What was the role of a woman during World War 1?
This was a significant part of World War One for both men and women. Men got recognised mostly for fighting on the front line, but it was very rare women got recognised for there war efforts as this was the time before women's rights. I doubt very much that women enjoyed there contribution to the war by making i.e. bombs and amunition for the men who were fighting. Women were doing this job because there were no men back home to help. The working class were mainly working towards the war. A major era in which the growth of a women's place took hold was during and after the First World War. The end of the four year war ended these roles. The rising rate of patriotism (for king/queen and country) made people even more willing to join up or work for the latest war efforts.
How long should a World War 1 soldier have been at the front?
As long as he didn't die. If he was lucky, he would have stayed on the front line for an approximate of 5minutes. the front line was a very dangerous place to be.
