On July 8, 1914, the way women were viewed changed forever. July 8, 1914 marked the start of the Great War. The Great War was not only a vigorous fight fought for four years, but it also marked a change in women's history. World War I provided women with the opportunity to work alongside men to achieve the national goal of conquest and triumph. The war allowed women to shed their family lives and take on a greater role, allowing them to change the way society viewed them. The war not only facilitated employment, but it also facilitated women's movements. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, women lobbied for a chance at redemption within a cruel and unacceptable society. Women tried to participate and get involved as much as they could because of the need to assert their rights. Amazingly, by the end of 1914, there were 5.09 million women out of 23.8 million employed in military commerce. World War I was responsible for several substantial developments and improvements in women's history. Before the war, some women worked at home to care for their children and tend to their homes and gardens. Others did a little more work, such as working in factories, being telephone operators, and, in rare cases, nurses. These were the normal jobs at the time and required little or no labor. When the war broke out, they did not know that women's work was going to be changed forever and seen differently. In 1914, women began manufacturing guns, ammunition, and more in munitions factories. Munitions factories were huge buildings where hundreds of women worked and sweated all day. In the factories they filled various munitions such as cartridges, bombs, screens...... middle of paper ...... we got Congress involved and they asked them to create an agency federal government that would investigate and document this habit in which women worked daily. The organizations recommended immediate changes. Changes were made over the years and after seventy years of the organization's activity, women's rights and suffrage finally achieved their goal. The women of the 19th and 20th have proven to our community and our country that we are capable of much more than we give ourselves credit for. Their heroic deeds and actions facilitated the advent of women's rights. Thanks to them, women are now fighting for our country and carrying out tasks that men also do. They set the morals and standards of our community and our country today. Without their heroic actions and movements, women would not have the rights and sovereignty we have today..
