Women increasingly worked in factories, stores, and offices both before and after World War I. The demand for labor during the war led to many women entering the workforce to fill the roles left vacant by men who had gone off to fight. This increased participation in the workforce continued after the war, as societal attitudes towards women working outside the home began to change. Additionally, technological advancements and the growth of industries meant that there were more opportunities for women to work in a variety of roles.
