Firstly, employment for women throughout the war had a drastic improvement; many jobs became available for women to choose from.

This is because, the source is in the form of a bar graph which presents to bars, one representing the amount of women working in that job in 1914 and the other bar representing the amount of women working in that job in 1918.

Emmett Glasbrenner Sociology goes to the Movie Short Paper #2 04-2-2012 In the Stepford wives movie of 1975 we see the trend of the American culture in regard to women in the workplace creating a major shift in this country. The number of women entering the workplace grew at a tremendous pace, which fostered a powerful cultural and economic transformation of the American society. At this time, during the making of the Stepford Wives, many women were starting to examine their lives.

This is when women first began to work for political equality with men. They pushed for equal opportunities involving their careers, working conditions and wages, and the right to own property. A breakthrough came in 1916 when Robert Borden granted the sisters, wives, and daughters of soldiers the right to vote. Nurses serving in the forces were also added to that list. Unfortunately, after the war ended many women were pushed to the side, as the female factory workers, ambulance drivers, and nurses
This period was marked by higher educational opportunities for women and a rise in the number of women in the workforce. Moreover, many began gaining access to advances in technology.
