Some women also worked heavy or precision machinery in engineering, led cart horses on farms, and worked in the civil service and factories.” This shows that countries relied on women’s work during the war, which was something that had been done very rarely in the past. While the men were away, it was up to the women to hold together the factories and companies. Men never let women work in any businesses in the past, so this is the first time women were welcomed into this position.]]> 2018-10-03 15:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_autenrieth/jmptc4alquxz/wish/288699615 molly_autenrieth https://padlet.com/molly_autenrieth/jmptc4alquxz/wish/288704446 2018-10-03 15:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/molly_autenrieth/jmptc4alquxz/wish/288704446 molly_autenrieth https://padlet.com/molly_autenrieth/jmptc4alquxz/wish/288710000 The website article “WOMEN IN WORLD WAR 1” writes that "The Salvation Army, the Red Cross and many other organizations depended on thousands of female volunteers. The American Red Cross operated hospitals to care for war casualties, staffed by nurses, hundreds of whom died in service during the war. Thousands of women also served in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps and the Navy Nurse Corps." This shows that soldiers and men relied on women to take care of their injuries. Without the women, there wouldn’t have been enough people to tend to soldiers wounds. The troops would’ve died off much faster, and we wouldn’t have had enough soldiers to fight. In the past, women had never really been allowed to create organizations to aid in the war. In the Corps’s, women could fight in their own way without being criticized for it.

Around 12,000 women enlisted in the Navy under the title, “Yeoman (F)’...They had the same responsibilities as their male counterparts and received the same pay of $28.75 per month." This shows that women were very capable in actually fighting in the war, and they did a good job once they got a chance. They were treated equally to men, which led to them counting as real soldiers. The also were paid the same as men, which showed that they were good at the work or they wouldn’t be allowed to work or get paid.
