Best Answer

Because all the men had left their jobs to become soldiers, and so there was a shortage of workers. And the factories were desperate for workers, especially in a time where they needed production to be high.

In addition, half the population was not taxable thus creating additional revenue to the United States coffers.

Why weren't women in World War I allowed to vote?

Women in a number of countries were enfranchised (allowed to vote) well before World War 1 began. Many of those that weren't enfranchised were either just on the verge of it or well on track to it. Several actually granted it during the Great War, and so they can be counted as allowing women to vote during the War.
