Question

select all the correct answers.

in what two ways did world war i affect the women in the united states?

• they were banned from traveling outside their towns during the war.
• they were forced to work in factories without pay to aid the war effort.
• they took part in the mandatory conscription imposed by the government.
• they gained the right to vote shortly after the war.
• they had greater confidence because they could do mens jobs.

Explanation:

During WWI, many U.S. women filled factory and other roles traditionally held by men (who were at war), boosting their confidence. The 19th Amendment (1920), granting women's suffrage, was ratified shortly after the war, partly due to their war contributions. The other options are incorrect: no travel bans, women were paid for factory work, and conscription was for men only.

Answer:

D. They gained the right to vote shortly after the war., E. They had greater confidence because they could do men's jobs.
