They were nurses for the soldiers, other than that, they stayed at home... cooking, cleaning, sewing, raising children,...etc.
Women during the civil war could not have any jobs unless they were slaves and/or being in the house taking care of their children.
I don't think women did any jobs during that time because they were expected to stay home and do laundry, cook meals, take care of the kids, etc. But some women worked as nurses during the civil war to help the soldiers out.
During the Civil War, many women did traditionally male jobs like farming because most men were fighting.
Often women took on the jobs that men who had gone to fight in the armed forces had such as steelwork etc.
women worked in factories of all kinds and even played pro baseball.
some of the jobs they had were cooking, aiding, and cleaning
Women were to stay home and take care of their children. Men were to work on the farms and do other stuff.
False! It decreased
During the time of WWI, it was uncommon for women to work outside of the home. By the time WWII rolled around, women were working in factories, ship yards, and many other formerly men only jobs.
Soldiers during the Civil War had a great many jobs. They had to drive vehicles and maintain weapons for example.
While it would be rare to find large numbers of women in the workplace, there were a few shop girl, maids, cooks and houskeepers. Don't think that they had it easy, clothes weren't store bought, they were home spun from scratch.
Women during the Civil War were often found resuming daily life with greater responsibilities such as providing for the home and family or running the family business. Others took more active roles such as nursing the wounded or rallying local support for the troops needs.
