What role did women play in the military in WWI?

# data[].attributes.body
Women were not allowed to enlist to service in the military during World War I. Since millions of men left for the war, the women had to step in and take on new roles in the workforce, especially manufacturing and agricultural positions. Thousands of women did serve in the U.S army as doctors, ambulance drivers, nurses, translators and sometimes as soldiers. These new roles for women was an opportunity to show women rights and independence.

When the U.S declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917 , the U.S only had 200,00 men servicing; the U.S was not prepared to fight in war, so the Congress passed the Selective Service Act in May 1917. This law made it mandatory for men to register with the government to be a part of a process where men would be randomly selected to serve in the military. 24 million men registered, but only about 3 million men were selected; their training included 17 hours of target practice, bayonet drills, kitchen duties and cleaning up the groups in order to be prepared to fight.
