War on the home front
|
I chose these items because World War 1 has made a great impact on the society on the home front. The roles of females have changed immensely as they began to join the work force doing the tasks of men just as well. However, they were only receiving half the regular wage. Nonetheless, proving themselves, Robert Borden allowed women the right to vote, with an alter-motive in mind. He hoped that by allowing women with military relatives, he could later enforce conscription among citizens. This was the beginning of a great change for the lives of women for further years.
