During World War I, women primarily served in non-combat roles, filling positions that were crucial to the war effort. They worked as nurses in organizations like the Red Cross, served in administrative and logistical roles, and took on jobs in munitions factories and other industries to replace men who had gone to fight. Additionally, some women joined auxiliary military services, such as the Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) and the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), where they contributed in various support capacities. Their involvement marked a significant change in societal roles, laying the groundwork for future advancements in women's rights.
