EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures an iconic American poster from World War I, created by the Y. W. C. A. in 1918. The image showcases a dedicated female operator working on a switchboard, symbolizing the vital role of women in supporting the war effort on the home front. The telephone operator is depicted as patriotic and hardworking, with the slogan "Back Our Girls Over There" boldly displayed. During this era, communication was crucial for coordinating military operations and maintaining morale among soldiers overseas. This poster serves as a reminder of how women played an integral part in ensuring effective communication during wartime. The Y. W. C. A. , known for its commitment to empowering women, utilized propaganda like this to encourage support for American troops fighting abroad. By emphasizing the importance of backing "our girls" they aimed to rally public sentiment and generate widespread patriotism. This photograph not only highlights early 20th-century technology but also celebrates the resilience and dedication of American women who stepped up to fill essential roles traditionally held by men during times of conflict. It serves as a testament to their contributions and sacrifices made on behalf of their country during World War I.
