World War IDuring the War, women entered the workforce to fill

jobs left open by soldiers. After the war women continued to work outside of the home.

Women’s fashions were altered to suit the workforce. Constrictive undergarments, such as whalebone corsets, were abandoned to allow for an ease of movement.
