What did woman have as jobs in 1912?

What did woman have as jobs in 1912?
Women in 1912 were employed in a variety of jobs. Some women may work as telephone operators, managing and directing calls to their target routes. Other women may bear the responsibility for the upkeep of their home all the while providing a caring and safe environment for their children; a job that is not to be underestimated. It also was not uncommon for women to occupy their work days at local factories or shops. While all of these aforementioned jobs provided woman with a bit more of a secure sense of comparability among the sexes, none of the above represent the most important, and sometimes forgotten, job many woman proudly possessed in 1912. Woman in this era held the chief title as the voices for the underdog. Women suffrage and women involvement in politics arrived on the scene with the 1912 election. Their voices served as a medium to the public, conveying messages of gender equality and awareness of woman's work in politics. Issues arising with the Progressive movement fueled the energy for many woman to actively participate in campaigns with presidential candidates and other elected officials. Numerous woman became energized by the simple fact that the outcome of an election has a significant impact on their lives. Not all women were alike in their political ideologies, but they were all bound together with one critical goal in mind: to shatter the ice of passiveness because the time to be heard is now. Their role as secondary to the male gender was no more. Instead, enabled by a paramount and unyielding voice, women all over were beginning to make contributions to their life, a life that had formerly barreled on with their bold roar embedded on mute.
