Did the professions of bookkeeping and accounting both see increased demand for women?

Yes, both bookkeeping and accounting saw increased demand for women.

During World War I, the demand for female bookkeepers and accountants grew significantly as men went to fight in the war. Women filled the gap in the workforce and proved their capabilities in these roles.

Women continued to find success in these fields after the war. By 1930, women made up over 50% of all bookkeepers and accountants in the United States.
