San Francisco Yeomen attached to the Naval Reserve, June, 1918. Yeoman (F) was a rank in the US Naval Reserve in World War I. The women were popularly referred to as yeomanettes or yeowomen. Female Yeoman reservists performed clerical duties such as typing, stenography, bookkeeping, accounting, inventory control, and telephone operation. A few became radio operators, electricians, draftsmen, pharmacists, photographers, telegraphers, fingerprint experts, chemists, torpedo assemblers and camouflage designers. Female Yeomen did not attend boot camp. A large number were stationed in Washington, D.C., while others served in naval stations, hospitals, shipyards and munitions factories around the country.
