I guess there was a shortage of men after WW1.
Many Ozzies joined up at 15-16 YO no checks were made as to volunteers' age.
So most, no doubt, were bachelors.

By and large once the war ended the nuclear family in which the wife stayed home remained the norm, but the shortage of men meant that many women had to remain single and self-supporting. Certain job and educational opportunities were not generally available to women, although there were mavericks everywhere who quietly bucked the system.
