During the First World War, Newfoundland women provided comforts and nursing services for servicemen. These contributions did not challenge gender norms. However, women’s contribution to the war effort raised appreciation for their traditional skills, strengthening the suffrage movement and leading to an expansion of women’s voluntary community work in the interwar period. : 1914-1918-Online International Encyclopedia of the First World War : 1914-1918-Online International Encyclopedia of the First World War
