Women during the civil war could not have any jobs unless they were slaves and/or being in the house taking care of their children.
The Civil war changed public opinion about the capabilities of women. While the men were away at war, women took over the farms and plantations, as well as working in factory jobs that were thought to be inappropriate for women.
Freed slaves were treated poorly after the Civil War. With the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, freedmen were usually terrorized. It was usually difficult for freedmen to get jobs as well.
WW1 put a vast majority of women in the work force for the fist time and earning them a pay check.... it all so showed that women can do the same jobs that a men can do in the same amount of time ... it is worth noting that during WW1 was the first time that women payed "men's" sports ... and that was the start of women baseball ...
During the Civil War, women's economic roles expanded significantly as they stepped into positions traditionally held by men who were away fighting. Many women took on jobs in factories, farms, and hospitals, contributing to the war effort and the economy. Additionally, they organized fundraising efforts and started their own businesses, gaining greater financial independence and public recognition. This shift laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for women's rights and workforce participation.

During the Civil War, many women did traditionally male jobs like farming because most men were fighting.
I don't think women did any jobs during that time because they were expected to stay home and do laundry, cook meals, take care of the kids, etc. But some women worked as nurses during the civil war to help the soldiers out.
Women did way more than two jobs during WWII. They did all the housework, the jobs usually held by men and also military work.
During the war women worked in factories and did the jobs men usually did, e.g. the manufacture of shells

The women started doing different kinds of jobs during the Civil War, that they hadn't done before. While the men were all out fighting in battle, women flocked in to fill their positions in the workplace, as well as the battle field. They became nurses worked as spies, and even fought in battles. Women worked in the factories too. Before the war men thought that it was impossible for women to perform such tasks, but they were quickly proven otherwise.
Worked as nurses and did other men jobs.
While it would be rare to find large numbers of women in the workplace, there were a few shop girl, maids, cooks and houskeepers. Don't think that they had it easy, clothes weren't store bought, they were home spun from scratch.
