Why was there resistance to female workers in plants at first?

Hi!

Before women were more accepted into society as equals to men, they were only expected to work at home cleaning, cooking, and tending to their children. When World War I came around, many men went off to fight in the army. They left their jobs, too, so women had to step up and start taking the places men had before the war. That sort of "proved their worth," showed they could take on more responsibility, and was one of the major motivations for women to start fighting for equality later on.

I hoped this helped! Please rate, thank, and pick the Brainliest answer (not necessarily mine!). Thanks, it really helps! :)

when world war i broke out across europe in 1914, president woodrow wilson proclaimed the united states would remain neutral, and many americans supported this policy of nonintervention. however, public opinion about neutrality started to change after the sinking of the british ocean liner lusitania by a german u-boat in 1915; almost 2,000 people perished, including 128 americans. along with news of the zimmerman telegram threatening an alliance between germany and mexico, wilson asked congress for a declaration of war against germany. the u.s. officially entered the conflict on april 6, 1917.

president carter called the victims of kidnapping "victims of terrorism and anarchy" and added that the united states was not going to give in to blackmail. in the united states, they see hostage-taking as an outrage on the part of the islamist movement that violated the principle of international law on the immunity and inviolability of diplomats and their embassies.

carter refused to yield to the demands, khomeini used the situation to consolidate his power and nullify the challenges of the moderate wing of his government, headed by its president. the euphoria over the humiliation of the most powerful nation distracted the iranian people from the economic difficulties of their country. carter, in april 1980, broke diplomatic relations with iran and imposed a trade embargo, except medicine and food. iranian funds in the us they were frozen and accounted for to compensate the hostages when they were released and to pay the demands of us companies against iran.
