Women were typically thought to stay at home and take care of their children and homes, but in this instance, we get a different perspective of women. Women volunteered to aid any injured soldiers in battle, even at the risk of their own lives. ]]> 2023-03-28 13:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2535007863 Women Taking place of Men on Great Northern Railroad (1918) jflores1114 https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2535011610 Women have been given greater employment options due to World War I. Working during the war provided them with a fresh opportunity to earn more money since the few women who did work before World War I did so in jobs that offered poor wages. We also learn from the description that most women returned to their prior employment following this war. Due to the fact that these temporary high paying jobs existed, many women participated in the workforce during World War I.

After a War Office investigation which showed that many jobs being done by soldiers in France could instead be done by women, the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) was established in December 1916. In April 1918, the WAAC was renamed Queen Mary’s Army Auxiliary Corps. Many more services were establish in the following years. In total, over 100,000 women joined Britain’s armed forces during the war.]]> 2023-03-29 13:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2536696647 Elsie Inglis nbaker108 https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2536708777 Even before these services were establish, women found ways to get themselves to the front lines. Elsie Inglis, a Scottish doctor, even after being denied from war offices after offering help set up the Scottish Women's hospitals on the fronts. Inglis also went herself to Serbia to treat the sick and wounded. ]]> 2023-03-29 13:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2536708777 The first rifle practice of the Women's Reserve Corps mchasen https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2536710127 The caricature depicting female soldiers engaged in unsafe rifle practice, made in 1917. It's interesting that the messenger expressed he didn't believe it was necessary to have the women's training overseen because it suggests that the women's training wasn’t taken seriously and portrayed as a burden. Additionally, the caricature highlights how during WW1 women weren't seen as fit to handle weapons and physically fighting for their country. The caricature helps us understand the challenges women faced while entering the military and the strength they had to challenge these stereotypes in order to serve their country.]]> 2023-03-29 13:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2536710127 Gee!!

It is fascinating how the poster sexualizes women in order to attract men's attention and encourage them to join the Navy. Furthermore, the poster acknowledges the gender inequalities that existed during WWI and the limited opportunities available to women.]]> 2023-03-29 13:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2536721522 Women learning war work nbaker108 https://padlet.com/roleofwomenglobal/ynrvryvhwx152k9c/wish/2536787439 Florida women learning war work.
