As the men had to leave to fight overseas, many jobs were left unfilled. Women had to pick up the jobs they left behind in order to keep the country running and to fuel the war effort. This meant that job opportunities for women expanded.

Women in a number of countries were enfranchised (allowed to vote) well before World War 1 began. Many of those that weren't enfranchised were either just on the verge of it or well on track to it. Several actually granted it during the Great War, and so they can be counted as allowing women to vote during the War.
