In the most simplistic terms it was to relieve a man engaged in administrative or clerical work so that he could be posted to a
forward or more hostile environment. I believe that a broader
and more realistic answer is that many felt a genuine patrioctic
call to defend and support their countries efforts.

Women took part in the war in many ways. "Some women formed groups to raise money for the war and collect clothing for them. In Lancaster, Pennsylvania, women formed a group called the Unmarried Ladies of America. The members promised that they would never give their hand in marrige until a gentlemen had proven he was a Patriot. Mary Ludwig was a Molly Pitcher, { a woman who brought water to the solders} when her husban got injured she took his place. They took part in the war because they wanted too!

Their motivation was that they had to prove themselves as useful as the men. At the time, they didn´t have as many rights as the men did. For example: They didnt have the right for the political vote. Helping in war would demonstrate that they could think, act and be as useful as men which would help them get the vote.

Women did not have the right to vote so they didn't have a say about the war but they probably were in agreement with the men that something had to be done.
