During World War I, women in Canada significantly contributed to the war effort by working in munitions factories, serving as nurses on the front lines, and taking on roles traditionally held by men, such as in agriculture and transportation. Their participation demonstrated their capabilities and resilience, leading to a shift in societal perceptions regarding women’s roles. As a result, women gained greater recognition and were eventually granted the right to vote in federal elections in 1917, marking a significant step towards gender equality in Canadian society. This period laid the groundwork for future advancements in women's rights.
