About 3,000 Women served oversea to nurse during the war (1914-1919)

# data[].attributes.body
Nurses with diplomas were offered positions to nurse in the war, when they were there they cared for around 540, 000 soldiers that were injured during battles. This was significant for women because they were never able to actually work until all the men were gone fighting. This was a risk for all the women to go help and by the end of the war, 53 nurses lost their lives while working. Lots were so shaken by their experiences from the war and some suffered from PTSD. For being Canadian nurses in the war, they were eligible for pensions after the fact.

Canadian women that had husbands, brothers, and sons in the war were given the right to vote in 1917.

# data[].attributes.body

Anthony started the women's suffrage movement and ended up winning the right for women to vote. On April 12, 1917, it was the first election for women got to vote in Ontario. Women were granted the right to vote mostly because men were away for the war. It is horrible how it took activists almost 100 years to win the right of women to voting when men have always had the rights.

Cause: Maternity leave
Consequences: Women get to take care of babies until they’re old enough and won’t get consequences with work.

Women having children more often and gaining more rights was the Cause of what was to come. The Consequence of this new time of break where before and after giving birth, women can have at least 6 weeks off of work without getting fired. The leave women were given was meant for mothers to care for their children during the day, when they were young. It was difficult for women to get “babysitters” for their babies and having the mother take care of them all day resulted in a longer time for women with their kids.

Continuity: Most Women were not allowed to vote in elections

Change: Government rules were changed, some women have voices and the right to vote

The early 1900’s represents Continuity because it was illegal for women to vote on what they want for their own country. Women’s rights were questioned for many years but never changed. However, by the end of the Women's suffrage movement, Change happened and some women were about to vote legally in their country if they had family in the war. In the next years women’s rights developed tremendously and they started doing more and more without worrying about being arrested.
