Before WWI men and women were said to inhabit 'separate spheres' meaning that they had different personality traits and different roles in society. Women had a stereotypical role in society. Their place was the home, and it was a common opinion that their personality was suited to nursing children and keeping a clean and well-fed household. The role of women in society changed dramatically in WWI. Women were needed to do jobs that previously would not have been given the opportunity to do. Their pay increased and generally they experienced more freedom. Women worked heavy machinery, on farms, civil service, and factories.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
