Working classes basically consisted in: Domestic service or sweated labour or dressmaking

Along with middle class women, they were employed as shop assistants, waitresses or clerks.

By 1914, a quarter of all clerks were women. At the outbreak of the war, just over 3 million women were employed in commerce and industry.

There was a huge rise of women in the hospitals.

In the abscence of husbands that were fighting at war, many married women found themselves head of the household. For the first time woman were in control and they were the decision- makers, increasing their independence and confidence.

Middle and Upper Class women working in medical and military posts had a taste of a life away from home giving them much greater social freedom now they were not economically tied to their fathers or husbands.
