The development that led to the type of activity seen in the image is the involvement of women in the workforce during World War I. Women's participation in industries such as munitions production, textile factories, and other traditionally male-dominated fields during the war was a result of the need for increased production in support of the war effort. With many men serving in the military, women stepped in to fill the labor gap, which led to the seen image of women working in factories during this time.
