Abstract During the First World War, there were conflicting attitudes towards women in the traditional American patriarchal society. On the one hand, women were expected by society to take on more jobs traditionally done by men. On the other hand, they were guarded against, fearful of them to be over-independent and to threaten men's authority. The various female images in American wartime propaganda vividly reflected these conflicting attitudes of the patriarchal society. Despite the restrictions and difficulties, American women still managed to obtain more rights for themselves and higher status through their efforts and contributions during the war.
