By 1917 there were 45,000 female nurses in the British military hospitals in France. From 1917 women were in military uniform in the WAACs, WRNS, and WRAF.

Women and World War 1 What were the results of this increased employment of women? Economic and social independence. Female Trade Union membership doubled. Women now had a growing confidence and self respect.
