Answer:Women helped out a lot during war, and politicians could not argue that a woman's place was solely at home.

Explanation:World War I bolstered global suffrage movements

Women's massive participation in the war effort led, in part, to a wave of global suffrage in the wake of the war. Women got the right to vote in Canada in 1917, in Britain, Germany, and Poland in 1918, and in Austria and the Netherlands in 1919.
