Answer:

Minority women also endured discrimination and dislocation during the war years. 350,000 women served in the armed forces during World War II. After the war, many women were fired from factory jobs. Nevertheless, within a few years, about a third of women older than 14 worked outside the home.

Step-by-step 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 (these are facts from ww1 and ww2)
