Role of Women in World Wars

During both World Wars, women played crucial roles as they filled positions traditionally held by men who were away fighting. They worked in factories, producing weapons and supplies, and served in various military roles, including nurses, clerks, and support staff. Women also took on roles in agriculture and other essential sectors to keep economies running. This shift challenged societal norms and laid the groundwork for future advancements in women's rights, leading to significant changes in gender roles and perceptions in the post-war era. Their contributions were vital to the war efforts and reshaped the workforce permanently.
