Women during WWI
Women also worked for the war effort in Europe. About 25,000 American women volunteered as nurses, telephone operators, signalers, typists, and interpreters in France.
Women were not given jobs in combat, but they braved gunfire at the front lines as nurses and ambulance drivers.
Other women, meanwhile, spoke out against U.S. participation in the war. Social reformer Jane Addams was against U.S. entry into the war.
“I want to stand by my country,” she said, “but I cannot vote for war.”-Jeannette Rankin (First female member of Congress, 1917)
