What can you infer about the gold rush's impact on the city of San Francisco?

History

The gold fever of California was a social phenomenon that occurred in the United States between 1848 and 1855, characterized by the large number of immigrants who came to San Francisco (California) in search of this metal. This phenomenon began near the town of Coloma, when gold was discovered in Sutter's Mill. When the news of the discovery spread, around three hundred thousand people emigrated to California from the rest of the United States and other countries.

The effects of this sudden migration were spectacular. Before the gold rush, San Francisco was a tiny village, and with the fever the village became a city. Schools, roads and churches were built, and other towns were founded. A legal and governmental system was created, which led to the admission of California as a state of the Union in 1850. New means of transportation, such as the steamboat, entered service in the state, and railway lines were laid . The business of agriculture was also started, the second fastest growing item in California.

The gold rush also had other effects: the aborigines of the region were attacked and expelled from their traditional lands. The environmental impact that mining produced was also important.

Identify the role of women in american society before, during, and after world war i.
Softa [21]
DURING WORLD WAR I:

War tends to disrupt traditional norms surrounding gender and sexuality, and the First World War between 1914-1918 was no exception. Keep in mind, the U.S. did not become involved in the war until 1917. 

During World War I, many women entered the workforce for the first time. With significant numbers of men away in Europe, women were needed in various capacities. It is believed over 20,000 women worked as nurses during the war. Others worked in clerical positions for the U.S. Government. Telephone and radio operators were also common positions for women. 

On the home front, women assumed greater responsibility in public life as significant portions of the male population were 'over there' (as Europe was referred to during that time). Women too young or unable to work helped the war effort in various ways, such as planting 'victory' gardens.
