Demand for stenographers, telephone operators, telegraphers, book-keepers and cashiers increased and were filled in by women.When the men left to go to war women had to take the men's places. Some of the jobs they done included; working in shell/ammunition factories, post women, some women went to war, but they weren't fighting instead they were cooking meals or nursing, some women began working on farms as well.When men returned from war most women returned to what they were doing before men left. This was mainly cooking, cleaning, and looking after their children.


Why was there resistance at first to women working in war plants?

There were several reasons. Women were considered not to have the stamina to work long hours (outside of the home, that is).

It was thought that women would take the jobs from men who needed them, and that families would suffer greatly with the women not home. Men did not want to supervisor or work with women.
