Activity: Now you must investigate!
In teams you are now going to investigate how far WW1 affected women’s roles, during and after the war.
• Use the sources in the hand-out and extras that appear on the board.
• Record evidence that you find of women's roles changing and staying the same.
• Look out for changes in employment and social changes.
• Make an overall judgment out of ten and explain why you have come to that decision.
A poster issued by the Government in WW1
In 1914, 5 million of the 23.8 million women in Britain were working. Thousands worked in munitions factories, and others were involved in voluntary work such as knitting socks for the soldiers. The employment rate increased again in 1916 when conscription was introduced.
Although women were near the front lines, working as nurses, they were rarely engaged in fighting themselves. Thousands of women were employed as nurses in WW1, but mostly working at home.
After the War, women began to go out without a chaperone, shorter skirts and hair became fashionable. Women also wore makeup and smoked in public for the first time.
