In page Women's suffrage in the United Kingdom:

"

During the war there was a serious shortage of able-bodied men and women were able to take on many of the traditionally male roles. With the approval of the trade unions, "dilution" was agreed upon. Complicated factory jobs handled by skilled men were diluted or simplified so that they could be handled by less skilled men and women. The result was a large increase in women workers, concentrated in munitions industries of highest priority to winning the war. This led to an increased societal understanding of what work women were capable of.[citation needed]. Some believe that the franchise was partially granted in 1918 because of a decline in the anti-suffrage hostility that had been caused by pre-war militant tactics.[citation needed]
