issue #1 women's role - Women began to take jobs that men had done. Some of the jobs that the women started doing were that they became bus conducters, factory workers, bank clerks, secretaries, and administraters. The reason why new roles were created for women was because men left to go fight at the front. Women began to gain new freedoms because women had their own apartments and showed their new independence (Steele 26).
