The women worked very hard and long hours in the textile industry weaving and sewing. They also worked in the potteries painting and later putting transfers on to china. They also went into service looking after the rich factory owners that were opening up all over the country people started to move into the towns away from the traditional agriculture employment.

Not only did they do everything described by the other answerers, it is impossible to find a historical event in which women did not play a role. We are 50% of the population, and whatever goes on, we're involved. Even in the parts of Afghanistan where the Taleban think they have women well and truly squashed, they don't.

Women worked in factories during WWII while the men fought.

Did you the term to go on 'strike' came from the Bryant and May (the matchmakers) factory girls? It was for better working conditions and pay.
