Need History hmk help please?

I have some history questions on the topic of how the roles of women have changed since 1900 (so during the wars).

I have been given a source (its a historians opinion);

Attitudes to women workers remained, in many cases, negative. The ability of women to take on that had been men's work meant that increasing number of males were vulnerable to conscription.

Some women doing skilled work had the full co-operation of male employees. Many other women were restricted to less skilled work and were victims of hostility and even of sabotage.

I have already done what the source suggests, but im struggling on the "knowledge to agree" and "knowledge to disagree". I'm not asking for someone to write it up for me, but I need some ideas, as I have never answered this type of question and my teacher hasn't taught us this topic, and although I have pages of research, im struggling on how to agree and disagree on this type of question.

    Your personal opinion and thoughts on the topic is involved with the agree and disagree part, which seems like the majority of the paper. By "knowledge to disagree" and "knowledge to agree," I assume that you need to look at your research and figure out why there was negative attitudes on female roles at this time and agree or disagree and explain why based on the reasons for these actions. Also, look at roles today that females have a part in and consider that for your argument on your decision with agreement or disagreement. Hope this was helpful.
