Women might work as clerks, teachers, and nurses, for example. As the nature of industries changed, new types of work evolved. Many women found work in the newly growing light industries, such as the production of electrical goods. The gender Disqualification Act of 1919 made it simpler for women to enroll in colleges and seek employment.
These jobs, or 'women's work', are sometimes referred to as the 5 Cs: cleaning, catering, cashiering (retail), clerical work, and caring. Men who do work in these female dominated sectors are more likely to hold senior or managerial roles.
