The Role of Women

How Did Women Contribute? At War: Many volunteered to work overseas as nurses (bluebirds), ambulance drivers, field hospitals just behind front-line trenches “We … had 291 operations in ten nights, so that will give you a fair idea of a week’s work.”

At Home: Filled labour shortages 35,000 worked in munitions factories or war related industries Work conditions poor and dangerous

Drove buses, streetcars, banks, police forces, civil service jobs, farming (farmerettes) to bring in harvest… Groups of women knit socks, rolled bandages, arranged fundraising, sent food parcels, cards, letters, comfort visits to families, …

“We decided to become farmerettes when we read in the paper they needed people to come, and there were no men. So this friend and I said that we would go. We volunteered. Masses of young people went out and brought that all in.”

“I wanted to do my share, and I joined the Red Cross and helped roll bandages and knit socks. My first ones were big enough to fit an elephant, and after that, I became very proficient – so proficient that I knit a pair of socks a day without trouble.”

“You see, everybody felt that had to do something “You see, everybody felt that had to do something. You just couldn’t sit there. There was a phrase, ‘Doing your bit.’ Well, that was pretty well the keynote feeling all through that First World War. Everybody was extremely patriotic, and everybody wanted to ‘do a bit’. If there’s anything we could do to help, we must do it.”

Struggles for Women’s Rights Since women were contributing so much for the war effort, they wanted more say in making decisions for the country. SUFFRAGISTS: women who organized themselves to gain the right to vote.

Nellie McClung (one of Canada’s great social reformers) Began her career pre WWI in MB “Certainly women belong in the home, but not 24 hours a day. They should have exactly the same freedom as men.”

When WWI broke out, she was proven right re: status of women. Women began replacing males in the workforce.

She began to organize and share ideas and work towards political equality with men equal opportunities in medicine and law right to own property better working conditions better public health better wages

Other famous Suffragists: Dorothy Davis (BC) Margaret Gordon (ON) Emily Murphy (AB) Alice Jamieson (AB)

Read p. 117 Spotlight on Nellie McClung
