Durinh WW1, the factories were short of workers as they had all gone to war. Women were then employed instead, often in munitions factories. Whenthe war finished, the men came home expecting everything to stay the same. It didn't! Many women had discovered that they were good at working and were unwilling to leave the workplace. This was a big step towards women equality rights.

World War I brought an end to the Progressive Movement primarily because the focus shifted from social reform to national unity and wartime efforts. The urgency of mobilizing for the war effort led to a decline in public and political attention towards progressive reforms, which had previously aimed at addressing issues like labor rights, women's suffrage, and social justice. Additionally, the post-war period saw a rise in conservatism and a backlash against some progressive ideals, as society sought stability and order after the chaos of the war. This shift ultimately diminished the momentum and influence of the Progressive Movement.
