How did women contribute to the war effort in ww1?
Women helped by working in munition factories , which caused damaged to them , as the fumes of the TNT made them infertile and their skin and hair turn yellow which gave them the nickname canaries. And, without this the soldiers would have munitions and so the war could not be fought. They also grew food on the Home Front, making sure that the country was provided with food, especially during 1917 where Britain had to ration food as the German U-Boats had been sinking most off Britain supply ships. They also took over normal men’s jobs while they were out fighting the war- such as, train drivers, working for the police etc. Which helped Britain to try and keep as normal as possible during the war years.
