The Rise of the Number of Women Employed in Britain in Mid-1915

Increase in the number of women employed in the UK in mid-1915. By the year 1915, the number of women employed in the UK has increased dramatically. There are many reasons for this article, but I will explore in this article. I pay special attention to the lack of huge cannon in May 1915 and women's participation in war. I will also introduce other opportunities and reasons given to women at the time. The main factor of the employment of women is "big shell shortage" in May 1915.

For centuries, women have played a part in the labor force. Many of the British Victorian families were dependent on women's wages to feed their families. In the middle of the Victorian era, it is shown in the literature that approximately one-third of women of the working class make a big contribution to domestic income. After the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, a female army was founded in 1915. This is the first time for women to play an important role in the labor force. Prime Minister David Lloyd George hired a woman to work at the ammunition factory during this acute phase. Lloyd George is very supportive of women's progress.

From 1914 to 1918, the number of employees in the Connecticut factory has increased significantly. In 1913, there were 169,677 people working at the Connecticut factory; the figure was 43,480 people. By 1917, the number of employees in the Connecticut factory has increased to 355,994, including 86,991 women. As thousands of men left Connecticut and fought to Europe, the number of women in the factory increased by 105%. These women are usually very young, most of them are not 30 years old. The draft was drafted in the United States in 1917, and Connecticut immediately provided the government with a wartime census. This census contains the number of people who can fight in the US military. This allowed companies to hire more and more women at jobs considered male dominant. In fact, the Government Employment Agency encourages women to look for work at the factory.

Civil servants are the industry with the most increasing employment of women. The number of women employed by the government for secretarial work and communication increased from 33,000 women in 1911 to 102,000 women in 1921. Many women choose these new jobs during war to not only help war but to accept war. Better wages, better conditions, and more self-reliant women. Another example of mass movements where women are away from housekeeping services is the London Omnibus Company. In 1916, about half of the newly hired workers worked in the domestic service industry.
