Propaganda is referred to when someone is trying to spread a view that they think everyone should follow. During the war Canada used this to get more people to enroll in the army. They started to put posters up to try and help promote enlistment and other sources of support for the army like donations. Women would also shame men who were in the country and not wearing a military uniform. They did this by pining white feathers on their clothing. By doing this they pushed men to go to war.

A big thing for the war the women contributed to was trying to get donations from people. Many women contributed to the war effort, when the men left lots of jobs became vacant and the women filled them. Women became involved in business agriculture and even started to work in factories. Another thing they helped with was the Canadian Patriotic Fund (CPF) that was created to reassure married soldiers leaving their families that they would be taken care of while they were gone.

Women's suffrage was the grant of women's voting rights in political elections. Many people saw this as a reward to Canadian women for all their help in the war. Women’s suffrage groups existed from the 1870s but it was hard to ignore them with all the work and effort they put into the country while the soldiers were away. The federal government gave them the right to vote on May 24th 1918.
