In England, a lot of women took over jobs that had previously been done by men, because the men were away at war. Women joined the police force, they worked as postwomen, bus conductors, drove delivery vans and worked in farming and forestry. A lot of women went to work in munitions factories, which was an important but dangerous job. Many women who had previously worked in domestic service left to work in factories or in other jobs.
