On 8 July 1914 the way women were perceived changed forever. July 8, 1914 marked the beginning of the Great War. The Great War was not only a vigorous battle fought for four years, but also marked a change in the history of women. World War I allowed women the opportunity to work alongside men towards the national goal of conquest and triumph. The war allowed women to shed domesticity and take on a more prominent role, allowing them to change the way society looked at them. The war not only facilitated the occupation but also facilitated women's movements. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, women pushed for the chance to redeem themselves within a cruel and unacceptable society. Women tried to participate and be involved as much as possible due to the need to defend their rights. Surprisingly enough at the end of 1914 there were 5.09 million women out of the 23.8 million employed in the military trade. World War I brought many substantial developments and improvements to women's history. Before the war, some women worked at home taking care of their children and tending the house and garden. Others held additional jobs, such as working in factories, being telephone operators, and in rare cases, nurses. These were normal jobs at the time and required little or no labor. When the war broke out they didn't know that the women's sector of work would be changed forever and would be seen differently. In 1914 women began producing guns, ammunition and more in munitions factories. The munitions factories were huge buildings where hundreds of women worked and sweated all day. In the factories they filled various ammunition such as cartridges, bombs, screens... amidst documents... they involved Congress and asked them to establish a federal agency that would investigate and document the habit in which women worked daily. The organizations recommended immediate changes. Over the years, changes have been made and after seventy years of the organization's activity, women's rights and suffrage has finally achieved its goal. Women throughout the 19th and 20th centuries demonstrated to our community and our country that we are capable of far more than we are given credit for. Their heroic deeds and actions facilitated the beginning of women's rights. Thanks to them, women now fight for our country and carry out and carry out tasks that men also do. They set the morals and standards for our community and our country today. Without their heroic actions and movements, women would not have the rights and sovereignty we have today.
