How were women persuaded to join the army?

Answer 1

Sure, there were flashy advertisements, tempting fashions, unrealistic promises of exotic duties at exotic stations and ports, reminders that service relieved a man to take up the rifle and bayonet. All of the flash was lost on two important psychological concepts: the minor of these was that the men were in the military and there was a shortage of that commodity on the homefront, the second and primary reason was that women were sensing a change in the basic roles of women in society and were anxious to be a part of the equal rights movements. A final thought on the subject is that gender does not determine patriotism.
