Women in Britain held important roles during World War I. Many worked in offices, munitions factories, and manufacturing facilities that built aircrafts. They would also spend their time sewing, working as nurses, and volunteered throughout their communities to help earn money while the men were gone.
During WWII women found atypical manufacturing jobs that were left vacant by men who left to fight. These jobs were welding, assembling, and riveting to name a few.
