Has any1 got any sources of info on women in ww1 B4 the husbands left? plz let me know!!!!!! thnx

Firstly, it would help if you wrote using better English. Secondly, there wouldn't have been women in a war before men had signed up for it (whether husbands or bachelors)! So you don't seem to be making much sense anyway. Are you really asking what conditions were like for women before WW1? Or do you want to know what roles women played during the war (whether with or without husbands by then)?

Finally, this isn't a particularly sensible place to ask the question anyway. Once you've figured out what your question is actually about, you could try looking for the best place to find out something. The categories section on History would be a good place to find some articles on history and some other people who are interested in history. That's here: <./>C4</.> (click on the link).

i meant how women were looked upon in soceity before the war, how their status changed DURING the war (jobs) and did they go back to their original customs AFTER the war!!!! i need help desperately for my essay. ive looked through all the stuf on this website. help me PLEASE!!!!!!!! thanks

If you are doing an essay for school, then you are probably supposed to have textbooks or similar resources which have already been made available or pointed out to you.

Oddly enough, I think you've only missed (by a few weeks) a programme on TV that was very much about how women refused to go back to being servants and how that changed the nature of society. Perhaps you would have more success googling on specific job titles (eg housemaid, scullery maid) and periods (eg 1920s) than just typing in WW1.

Thank you but we have been told to PEE. Point, Evidence and Explain, but i havent got the Evidence i need to back up my First point. i need the adress for the Think History website taht teachers use beacsue taht is where i saw the info that i need but i cant find the website anywhere. Please help if you can. Thanks

I haven't heard of a Think History website for teachers. Google says there's one by that name at the following URL though:
http://www.thinkhistory.btinternet.co.uk/

Meanwhile, the BBC has a History Message Board:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbhistory/

and another MB for school subjects which includes history under Humanities:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mb16/

Thank you sef but ive tried all of the websites you suggested but no such luck. ill find out somewhere. thanks anyway. if you have anymore ideas please let me know. thanks.

I can't see any sign that you've tried the BBC's history and school areas. Eg There are no posts by you asking for information on the topic. (Not that you'd be guaranteed a sensible answer anyway.)

I also don't think you can be trying hard enough to find the information via search engines. My first google search netted me these:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_roles_in_the_world_wars
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Wfirst.htm

Plus the BBC have some pages, eg:
