American women during WWI

American women were doing a lot of jobs that men did before they left during WWI. They were enrolling in the military to help do jobs and some even fought along side of the men on the battle fields. Most were nurses or physical therapists though and helped the wounded soliders. The ones that stayed home took over the jobs that men did such as working in the factories, welding, things like that. They became the ones in charge of the households and had to support the families. This was the time when women really came into their own and proved to the world that they could do the same things that men could.
