How did the end of World War I affect women in the workplace?

The end of World War I significantly impacted women in the workplace by accelerating their entry into roles traditionally held by men. With many men serving in the military, women stepped into jobs in factories, offices, and other sectors, gaining greater independence and economic power. However, after the war, many women were pressured to relinquish these positions as men returned, leading to a complex legacy of both progress and pushback regarding women's rights in the workforce. This period laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for gender equality and labor rights.
