In WWI they were primarily limited to nursing duties. During WWII They were utilized as clerks, drivers, pilots (domestic duty) and many other roles where they replaced men on the home front so the men could be released for duty on foreign shores.

Women starting working outside the home on off the farm. They had to fill job the men had to leave in order to fight in the war.

Women worked in jobs that had been done by man. My mom who is now 88 years old, worked for Pratt and Whitney Aircraft helping to build part for planes.Many women work like this, my Aunt became a nurse in order to serve.
Women grew food and sewed for the troops, anything to help. Not all women wanted to go back to being just a "housewife" after the war. They learned that they could do a "man's" job. Many enjoyed it.

Service was a value of great importance. We could learn from them. Our grandmothers and moms are of tougher stuff than we are today.

My mom, who is 88 work in a plant that made aircraft parts. That is where she met my Dad. He was a machinist,he later joined the Merchant Marines who were on ships delivering goods to the troops because the military would not take him. They sacrificed to help our troops.
Women bloomed and became more. Read more of the histories of the women.

Now what have you done to support the troops in our current war? Think about it.
Good Luck
