In WW II women filled in so the men could go to war.
We've discussed many times how the war was a national effort, how the women contributed, and the changes
in how women were viewed by men and by themselves as a result. Britain did the same thing there.
But WW I was different for us, when it started in the middle of 1914 we stayed out of the European war.
But the German U-boats pissed us off so we jumped in for the last 18 months before the end in 1918.
We only mobilized 4 million troops so women weren't needed in industry.
Britain was a different story, like WW II the nation was at war and women filled in on the home front,
not only in industry, but service industries, and agriculture.
Fortunately they had a man to supervise them.
The man supervising could sit there all smug and shit.
Much of it was tedious dirty work, but proper dress was a given.
Even in the dirtiest jobs one could make an effort to shine one's shoes.
Tough broads, proper breeding you know.
