Answer:

A. Gained greater participation in the political process.

Explanation:

The world War I (WWI) was a period of battle between various countries from 1914 to 1918. It started formally on the 28th of July, 1914 and ended on the 11th of November, 1918.

During the First World War (WWI), most women in the United States of America were barred from voting or serving in military combat roles and as such took up roles in the agricultural and manufacturing industries while others served in the front line as doctors, nurses, translators, radio operators, stenographers, ambulance drivers, etc.

Largely, women were able to gain greater participation in the political process as a result of their work during the First World War (WWI).

After World War 1, life became different for many women in the following ways;

I. They rejected some of the attitudes peculiar to the earlier era.

II. They advocated for greater equality in marriage.

III. They had new job opportunities.

In conclusion, the role of women changed during World War I because many women worked outside the home for the first time while the men were away fighting in the war. These women took up paid jobs in manufacturing and agricultural firms other than their routine domestic services.
