During the Civil War; fathers, brothers, and husbands had left for war leaving the women to do the work that the men normally did. There were three types of women: the one who ran the house, the ones who got a job, and the ones who helped during the war. All the jobs that women had taken up after their family had left for war, were jobs they were unfamiliar with. The women were unskilled when it came to these jobs, leading the out come of the job to poor quality.
There were some women at home who continued the farms that their family had started before they left. Others had opened up their homes to the sick and wounded.
Some of the jobs the women took up in factories were in the manufacturing, and agricultural departments. Women also took some government related jobs and worked in factories that provided for the war.
There was a good amount of women who helped fight in the war or became nurses for the war. There were some groups that helped the war out by starting fundraisers to give money to the soldiers or provide them with supplies.
In the end both men and women were working hard during the Civil war. Whether it is keeping the house running, providing money for the family, providing the country with a running government, providing the soldiers with weapons, fighting in the war, or helping out the soldiers by either raising money or providing them with supplies.
