Women volunteered to be nurses in World War I for various reasons, including a sense of patriotism and duty to support their countries during the war. Many sought to contribute to the war effort and help alleviate the suffering of soldiers on the front lines. Additionally, nursing offered women a chance for meaningful work and a degree of independence, as well as an opportunity to gain skills and experience in a traditionally male-dominated field. The war also opened up new avenues for women's roles in society, challenging existing gender norms.
