Before WWI the role of a woman was usually to take care of a house and care for children. They werent allowed to have jobs or hold property without having a husband. But when the war came and men were drafted there was a labor shortage so the role for women changed radically as they made up most of the work force.
The role of woman was to take care of the house and children. They also had to have the children and please their husbands. They couldn’t go out and drink, they stayed in the house to sew and cook. They could not vote, go to war, or work jobs. They had little to no rights and had to be completely submissive to their husband.
P. S. I despise what those women had to endure on a daily basis, they were so strong.
