Question

in a paragraph, evaluate the social changes women experienced on the home front as a result of World War I. Discuss both the hardships women endured and the opportunities women enjoyed.

Answer 1

Answer:

The first world war created various hardships that women had to endure along with opportunities they were able to enjoy.

Explanation:

Women’s work has never been considered as same as of men and never have been valued equally as of men. During the first world war, Men were not being available to work for the country as they were in the battle fields. Women took over all the works that were previously done by men, be it munition factories, bankers, bus conductors, drivers, working in mills, or any other work that was previously done by men.

This made them realise their capability and they starting fighting for their rights. Even though they were doing the same work producing the same amount of output, they were still paid less.

This makes women to fought for their freedom and their denied rights. Some women started getting paid the same as men after their struggle and the right to vote for women was given after the first world war.
