Women also joined in the war effort. Not only did women serve overseas, their roles on the home front began to evolve. Before the war, women were relegated to the home. They primarily served as wives and mothers and worked in the domestic sphere, maintaining the home and caring for the children. When the majority of male citizens were drafted into the war, the U.S. government welcomed women's contributions. Drafted men left millions of jobs vacant on the home front. As a result, many women began to fill those jobs. Despite women's efforts at home, they were still not permitted to vote. After the war, many women pointed to their wartime contributions as a reason for giving them the right to vote.
