During the war women were employed in many occupations that were exclusively male beforehand. Their contribution resulted in women first being given the vote at the end of the war.
Many men were dissapointed to find that the "Land fit for heroes" that they had been promised they would return to was simply politician's talk. This led to the rise of the socialist movement and a determination not to follow the expectations of the old class system.
The cost of the war had to be met through heavy taxes which caused many of the upper classes to sell off their big country estates when death duties became due on them.
All in all Britain was a much poorer country after the war and became even more so after the Wall Street Crash.

∙ 13y agoWell WW1 was the first total war which meant it was the first war that didn't just affect the fighters it also affected many aspects of civilian life. People were affected in many ways such as, rationing was introduced, peeps affected by Propaganda, government took control of industry, there was more censorship, women started working.
-EDIT-
Women were given the vote because of their contribution during the war. Women from ages 30 and over were given the vote in November 1918
