The Davis booklet also notes that women had "even invaded the offices of lawyers and the sacred precincts of our Banks". Girls had become business canvassers and insurance agents, and lady reporters on newspapers were said to have become an institution. It goes on to state that "Out of doors we have become accustomed to see girls performing the duties of tram drivers and conductors, chauffeurs, and in at least one instance the driver of a 'chair'".

The Post Office also employed girls as messengers delivering telegrams. 'The Guernsey Weekly Press' of 17th January 1917 contains a picture of the first two "conductorettes" - Miss Agnes Sebire of Lancresse and Miss Dylis Richards of Pike's Corner. By June 18th of the same year, Miss Sebire had been promoted to tram driver, and was said to drive "with conspicuous ability". In the same month, lady bell ringers at the Vale Church rang 15 changes on the six bells.

Many Guernsey women went to England and Europe to work in areas that supported the war effort, such as making munitions, sewing uniforms and nursing or helping the wounded in other ways.

Davis notes that one Guernsey woman, Miss de Putron, was an administrator of the WAACs, while another was engaged in teaching Braille at St Dunstan's Hospital for Blinded Soldiers.

'The Guernsey Weekly Press' carried articles throughout 1917 featuring women who had left the island for similar purposes. Nurse Galliott of Carmel, St Martin's went to Salonika with the Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service, after serving for a year in a large military hospital in England. Nurse Duquemin, daughter of the States Engineer, spent Christmas 1917 serving at a military hospital in Cheshire.

Mrs T.E. Sackett of the Foulon, St Peter Port and Mrs Austin Coe, daughter of Mr Mann of St Andrew's went to do voluntary work in Manchester making garments for wounded soldiers.
