Question

During WW1 women left traditional female occupations to do all of the following job except for one

drive trucks and streetcars

stay home and care for the home and children

operate heavy machinery

assemble armaments in factories

Answer 1

The correct answer option is: 'stay home and care for the home and children'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Women played a typical role of a homemaker before the World War I but during the war, as men left their jobs in order to serve the country in the war, women left traditional female occupations.

Therefore, a large number of women worked in occupations such as chauffeurs, street car conductors, farming, bank clerks and operated heavy machinery too.

Answer 2

The answer is: stay home and care for the home and children. Due to the great magnitude of the conflict, since the number of mobilized troops was very large, made the industry, engine of the war, needed workers. That is when women were thought of, and although they find themselves against the opinion of most men, women know how to fulfill this role. Is for that reason during the war the female workforce accounted 40% of the production and a large part of the arms industry.
