    26. 1900-1930 WOMEN'S LIVES IN COLLISION

    Between 1900 and 1930, the world was at war. Between the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, every part of the world was affected. Women at home or on the front played a vital role in fighting for peace, sustaining the war effort, and rebuilding. For women in Russia, the wars resulted in a revolution that promised much and gave them little. In Turkey, the war brought reforms that forced modernization of women's lives at a surface level. World War I was a catalyst for profound changes for women, but these were slow to materialize.

    The Industrial Revolution brought significant change for women. New procedures for caesarean section advanced medicine and treatment for child birth.
