« Quel est le rôle des femmes aux Etats-Unis durant la première guerre mondiale ? I. Support of troops and participation in the war effort and Female Yeoman in the US army - Hello Girls - Femmes afro américaines dans le YMCA - Female Yeoman II. Feminist movement The entry of the United States into the fighting in Europe momentarily slowed the longstanding national campaign to win women's right to vote.

Many feminists shelved their activism between 1917 and 1919 to support various relief and war industry efforts. The scope of women's service to the nation during World War I foreshadowed their involvement in World War II.

For example, they served overseas as nurses, humanitarian relief workers, physicians, telephone operators, linguists, ambulance drivers, entertainers and Soldier support workers of all sorts. I. Support of troops and participation in the war effort and Female Yeoman in the US army Conducteurs Des femmes afro-américaines ont également servi comme chauffeurs du Motor Corps avec la Croix-Rouge et la National League for Women's Service. Utilisant souvent leurs propres véhicules, ils ont assuré le transport des soldats vers les camps militaires, les hôpitaux et les cantines à travers les États-Unis.

Johnson, l'une des trois seules femmes afro-américaines arrivées en France avant l'armistice, a organisé des cours pour les soldats qui ne savaient pas lire. IQu'elles travaillent dans des usines, des bureaux ou des hôpitaux, ou qu'elles servent dans l'armée, les contributions des femmes afro-américaines ont été essentielles à l'effort américain pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Female Yeoman Despite thousands of new recruits, the U.S.

Navy was short-handed at the beginning of World War I.

Vague wording in a section of the Naval Act of 1916 outlining who could serve created a loophole: women were able to join the ranks as Yeomen, non-commissioned officers.

Around 12,000 women enlisted in the Navy under the title, “Yeoman (F).” Most women Yeomen served stateside on naval bases, replacing men who had deployed to Europe.

While many female recruits performed clerical duties, some worked as truck drivers, mechanics, radio operators, telephone operators, translators, camouflage artists and munition workers.

They had the same responsibilities as their male counterparts and received the same pay of $28.75 per month The “Hello Girls” Aiming to improve communications on the Western front between the Allied Forces, General John J.

Pershing called for the creation of the Signal Corps Female Telephone Operators Unit.

The unit recruited women who were bilingual in French and English to serve as telephone switchboard operators on the Western front.

The women received physical training, observed strict military protocol, wore identity discs and worked very close to the front lines.

These female recruits were nicknamed the “Hello Girls” (a term which some of them felt disparaged their efforts) and became known for their bravery and focus under pressure.

However, upon their return to the United States after the end of the war, the “Hello Girls” did not receive veteran status or benefits.

It wasn’t until 1977, when President Jimmy Carter signed legislation, that the few surviving women telephone operators received recognition of their veteran status. The First World War is often described as the first “modern” war.

The term generally refers to mechanized warfare in the form of tanks and airplanes; terrorizing civilian populations as an act of war; and the mobilization of society as a whole.

But it could also apply to the new roles of women in their nations’ war efforts. Increasing manpower demands on the part of all the combatant powers in World War I made it easier for women to make official contributions, though few would fight.

Women signed up as ambulance drivers, telephone operators, munitions workers, members of various service auxiliaries and even as soldiers in Bolshevik Russia’s all-female units.

In the United States, the Navy’s “yeomanettes” and the Army’s Hello Girls were the first American women to openly serve in (or at least with) the military.

And, though they served in the same war for the same nation, their experiences differed greatly. III.
