Before WWI most were served as homemakers, and some dishwashers, clerical workers.
During WWI many stepped out of the home and worked in manufacturing, and nursing.
After WWI many were fired from their jobs so men can get their jobs back.
(USA was in WWI for only a year and half.)

The job of female citizens preceding, during, and after World War I was gradually extended during past times of contention.

Following quite a while of the women's suffrage movement, they were finally granted the so desired right to vote through approval of the nineteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in August of 1920.

During the war, numerous female citizens filled in as nurses and many other related positions to help the armed forces.

In war efforts, women would take jobs that would help directly or indirectly with the war. An example would be the manufacturing of bullets.
