Women and minorities in WW1

Women played a vital role in the First World War, performing their 'traditional' tasks such as nursing, while making deep inroads into other industries like munitions production and transport, some women also played an important role in writing letters. Some soldiers who were wounded in battle could no longer read or write so, many women wrote letters and read incoming letters for soldiers who could not anymore. This played an important role in troop morale.
