Today women play an increasingly active role in the United States military, but are still officially barred from combat. ]]> 2016-04-06 15:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104384268 xiacgx https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104384535 2016-04-06 15:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104384535 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104391053 Women who did not work to help the war effort were encouraged to by bonds and help the war economically.]]> 2016-04-06 15:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104391053 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104391740 2016-04-06 15:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104391740 xiacgx https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104392546 A TASTE OF INDEPENDENCE ]]> 2016-04-06 15:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104392546 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104392911 Women’s employment rates increased during WWI, from 23.6% of the working age population  in 1914 to between 37.7% and 46.7% in 1918 (Braybon 1989, p.49). It is difficult to get exact estimates because domestic workers were excluded from these figures and many women moved from domestic service into the jobs created due to the war effort. The employment of married women increased sharply – accounting for nearly 40% of all women workers by 1918 (Braybon, 1989: p. 49).]]> 2016-04-06 15:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104392911 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104393607 Women were encouraged to volunteer for war work with agencies such as the Red Cross.]]> 2016-04-06 15:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104393607 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104394804 2016-04-06 15:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104394804 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104395512 2016-04-06 15:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104395512 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104611044 DURING THE WAR PERIOD OF 1914-18, more women entered the labor force than ever before. They worked not only as clerks and saleswomen but also as lathe operators, punch-press operators, single and multiple-spindle-drill-press operators, grinders, riveting-machine operators, inspectors, crane operators, assemblers, and case makers. In some war industries, such as aircraft, the em- ployment of women rose from negligible propor- tions before the war to about 19 percent in 1918.]]> 2016-04-07 14:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104611044 https://padlet.com/xiacgx/behcmlviqu8g/wish/104612788 A U.S. Navy recruiting poster instructs women to enlist in the navy.
