During World War 1, women first moved into the civilian jobs abandoned by men, such as shop clerks and factory workers. Women did most of the jobs in the Post Office in Washington D.C.
The war effort itself involved women mainly as nurses and other medical workers.
After the war women were not about to return to the farms. Without their labor available, Mr. Henry Ford made a fortune selling his tractors mechanizing farms.
The women who had been liberated by their jobs during the war became the flappers of the roaring twenties.
