During Women’s History Month, the East Side World War I Centennial Commemoration (ESWWICC) Committee will sponsor a series to honor the heroic women of the WWI era, for their services in support of the troops and civilians overseas, and for their service in their active, vital roles in a changing American society at home. War ushered in a new era for women, one that moved towards a more equal society transforming the concept of gender norms. Women were on the front-lines as nurses and physicians, they aided in distributing food and supplies to the troops and the citizenry, they started charitable organizations that took care of the wounded and those that were in poverty and needed a restart when they returned, they took over the jobs that needed to be done in industry while the troops were overseas, and starting 100 years ago in 1919 when the troops returned from the War Front, they stood up for their rights of suffrage, to have the right to vote in America, and they looked to rebuild the American Dream in the teens and twenties when all was recovering on the home front, with new ideas for a future America, and the lessons from this Centennial remain current today.
