As a result of fighting or due to disease etc or just how many women died during 1914-1918?

The Russians had some women battalions and it is thought between 400-2000 died on the front line from both sides. The number raises more when you count civilian deaths from the war not directly to do with fighting but from shelling.

Some dressed as men to fight on the line, some were killed in civilian deaths and others whilst tending to the wounded, about 400 US nurses died mostly of Spanish Flu. Many others had to work in dangerous factories to quickly churn out the ammunition etc needed on the front line.

During 1914-1918 in the US alone over 25,000 women a year died in childbirth.

While the records from the era are incomplete, it is estimated that over 400 military nurses from American died in World War I. Nursing and ambulance driving were the only positions allowed women at that time.

It is known or admitted 38 women who were members of the WASP Women"s Army AF Service Pilots died in on-duty status. Most were accidents of some sort, one vanished without trace ( not Earhart, this was WW2 proper) The totally missing WASP agent came from Summit, N.J. MIA occured on the West Coast. I think about 8 Nurses died in war-related events in World War II maybe among the Canadians.
