 * Draft:

Women influenced WWI by stepping up to work in non-traditional roles,while the men were at war.

More of the"better" jobs were given to the men during the war. Men got the higher paying jobs,while women were very limited on what professions they could do.(Hartman Strom) Men worked in more of the manufacturing and physical labor jobs, while women did more secretarial and teaching work.Not only did most of the men leave for war,wich for the women ment husbands dying at war leaving long distance realationships holding on by hope,but the war also caused a depression wich made it extremely hard to raise a family or even get married,showing the effects the war had on realationships too.Even though there were strict rules, many women found was around the rules to communicate with thier husbands and other men. Many women attended USO dances and wrote letters to thier husbands or male realatives who were off fighting in the war.Even though they couldnt fight in the war,women could still make a difference and provide support. Such as the Signal Corps women, who served in the army headquarters.(Hartman Strom)

The war not only affected people emotionally, but phisically too.Not everyone was for war back in 1917. There were the anti-war groups and pro-war groups, who both had very diffeernt opinions on if WWI was even worth going into. So in this song, "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier", would be an example of a antiwar song.(//American Voices From World War I//.) While the men were at war,and the women and women took the jobs of the men at war, many of the new "working women" were critisized socially. at the time a woman doing a man's work was un-natural and "out of line".Because of the mass of men going into the war,most women went to work as "factory girls". Because of their new jobs and liberation,many women were considered out of line,and as a disgrace. Many people expressed their opinions through movies like "// Since You Went Away,Since You Went Away,Double Indemnity, // and // Gilda." //**


 * WWI changed many peoples perspectives on different kinds of people,and changed the opinons and lifestyle of the new-coming generation. Most of these new opinions stuck even after the war."As the war began, black people in the United States still faced systematic racism. On the West Coast actual hysteria developed when war broke out."(hartman strom) Many people** **besides women were still critizised during the war,including african americans and japanese americans. racism was still very prominant during this time period. Not many people know this, but many japanese americans were rounded up into labor camps.The war also deprived children grew** **up in the depression of a happy childhood, and forced many kids to grow up way to fast, andway less fourtunate than the future generations.(Hartman Strom) Even after the war,the great depression remained as an aftertaste. because of the high prices on daily products many women still had to work even though their husbands were finally home from battle.

Without women god only knows how who would've won the war. Even though they were prosicuted for steping up, the women of this era were strong and determined. This reform on the opinions of "men are superior to women" soon changed when women proved they could do what**
 * men could do, but better and in high heels.**
