aircraft, submarines, & poisonous gases.

Workers began to form UNIONS. A hope to improve the conditions people worked.CANADIAN WOMEN STEP

This gave women the opportunity to work
the jobs that the men did.
CANADIAN WOMEN STEP UP

Beliefs are much harder to change than laws.
Men thought they should be the only ones involved in government.
