The correct answer is C. Working gave women newfound independence, so they continued to work in different kinds of jobs.

Explanation:

During the World War I which was an international conflict that took place from 1914 to 1918, most men of different countries including the U. S. had to go to war and because of this, there were few of them to work on factories including munition factories. As a result of this, thousands of women began doing this kind of job and jobs that were previously done by men including railway jobs, civil services, and factories. This made women realize they could do the same job as men and be someone independent, even though the conditions in which they worked were not the best as they were paid less than men and in some cases worked in dangerous conditions. Despite this, many women continue working after men returned from war and began fighting for getting equal payment and better conditions. In this way, going to work during and after World War, I "gave women newfound independence, so they continue to work in different kinds of jobs".
