With so many men being drafted or enlisted in the army, women stepped up to fill the vacant roles in various industries. They worked in farms, factories, and other sectors to ensure the production and supply of essential goods during the war.
It is important to note that while women did contribute significantly to the war effort, they were not typically drafted into the army to serve alongside men. Additionally, while there have been women who ran for and were elected to government offices, this was not a widespread impact of women's contribution during the war.
