Also at this time World War I was going on which made it so that women’s roles in society were changing. From doing daily chores to being the sole breadwinner in their homes. Due to them being able to open their minds up to new things, women felt more accepted inventing things for the greater good, instead of just cooking and keeping a house well maintained.
When the world was in a less progressive state women were bound to their homes. There were no women in any positions higher than secretary. If a women was any higher than that they were seen as duds in the water. A normal response towards women in higher education or higher fields of learning was that they should be at home instead of in school. A woman’s place at that time was nowhere near the classroom. A perfect example of a women who faced this type of discrimination was Betty Holberton.
