Since second part of XIX
century:
• Female ideal was as the
queen of the house.
• The maternity was remarked
as her most important
function.
• However, the needs of a
bourgeois society on the way
to modernization required that
women would assume
practical and effective tasks.

the war, industry needed
workers.
• Women were the solution.
• Women know how to fulfill
their role. The woman's
previous role had become
obsolete.

some women:
• Worked in munitions
factories, in public
transport, in offices and in
security
• Served in the armed forces
in support functions, for
example, as nurses
• Even in Russia some were
soldiers.

accounted for 40% of the
