Women's work during both World Wars was crucial to supporting the war effort and shifting societal norms regarding gender roles. In World War I and II, women stepped into various roles traditionally held by men, such as factory workers, nurses, and even pilots, due to the draft and the labor shortage. Their contributions not only filled essential vacancies in the workforce but also challenged the conventional perception of women's capabilities. After the wars, many women sought to continue their employment and advocate for equal rights, helping lay the foundation for future movements for gender equality.
