During WW1 how did women lives change?

Women's lives changed considerably. They were alone in the household as their men went off to war. They went to work in the textile mills and factories. Instead of making clothes and household goods, they made parachutes and military uniforms/boots. They worked in machine shops for war supplies, played Baseball and still raised the kids. Women's roles changed so dramatically, they never returned to Pre-WW2 status.
