Answer:

6 million men of working age were taken out of the economy into the armed forces and around a million women entered the workforce.

Step-by-step explanation:

World War I inspired many different emotions and opinions that became tangible in the vast amount of literature created during this time period. Women grew in status tremendously. In every part of the world, the shortage of males led to females doing "man's work".

Answer:

The war needed women workers- both in larger numbers and in new kinds of work. 6 million men of working age were taken out of the economy into the armed forces and around a million women entered the workforce. By 1918, women made up 1/3 of the total workforce.
