Women began to work in World War One. The Call to Freedom textbook (pg. 336) said “About 25,000 female volunteers served in France, working as interpreters, nurses, and typists. The ‘Hello Girls’ of the U.S. Army Signal Corps handled military telephone service, including translating calls and sending battle orders. None of the women in the military received a pension for their service.” [Call to Freedom text pg. 336 (“Women in Wartime”)] It explains that women worked to do new jobs like communicating.

Women that couldn’t fight for our country still risked their lives by being nurses. Women gained responsibilities during World War One. World War One opened more opportunities for women.

Even if women were not working or fighting they still contributed to making the war easier. Theworldwar.org stated “But even women in more traditional roles contributed to the war effort. Every housewife in the U.S. was asked to sign a pledge card stating that she would “carry out the directions and advice of the Food Administrator in the conduct of my household, in so far as my circumstances permit.” This meant canning food for future use, growing vegetables in the backyard and limiting consumption of meat, wheat, and fats.” Housewives began to prepare food for the future. They cut down on meat to make it easier to bring food for the people of America. Women began to grow gardens for future needs. Throughout World War One women proved that they could help the country in almost every way.

Throughout World Was One women showed that they were determined to work and that they should be paid as much as a man. An article that supports this is called Chainmakers at Cradley Health(Striking-women.org) it says, “Within a month, 60% of employers had agreed to the new minimum wage rates. The remaining employers were boycotted until, 6 weeks later, they to agreed to pay. On 22 October, the women won a minimum wage for the first time in history, doubling their pay to 11s 3d a week.” Women knew that their pay was unfair and went on strike and boycotted until employers raised women’s minimum wage. It showed how determined women were to be equal. When not on strike women helped the country by taking over the jobs that men did. During World War One women did the same work that men did and eventually raised their pay.
