EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of the Women's Land Army of America during World War I, as depicted in a training school poster from the University of Virginia. The Women's Land Army was an essential contribution to the war effort, with women volunteering to work on farms and produce food for the military and civilians. In this scene, two women are shown carrying a basket of fresh vegetables, symbolizing the bounty of their labors. The woman in the foreground, dressed in a military uniform and wearing a hat adorned with the US flag, stands confidently on horseback. Her posture and expression convey authority and determination, reflecting the important role she played in leading and organizing the Women's Land Army. The horse, a common mode of transportation during this era, underscores the rural setting and the agricultural nature of the work. The poster, produced by the US Employment Service in Richmond, Virginia, encourages women to "Apply Women's Land Army" and join the cause. The image and text work together to inspire and recruit women to serve their country by working the land and ensuring food security during the war. This powerful poster is a testament to the vital role women played in supporting the war effort and demonstrates the enduring impact of their contributions.
