EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1918, showcases the Agricola Outfit, a practical and stylish solution for women workers during World War I. As more women took on roles in industries and agriculture to support the war effort, the demand for functional yet feminine clothing increased. The Cleveland Manufacturing Company answered this need with their Agricola Outfit, which was strong, serviceable, and well-cut, making it both suitable for the demands of the land and becoming for the women who wore it. The Agricola Outfit was a departure from the traditional, frilly clothing typically associated with women during this era. Instead, it featured overalls with adjustable straps, sturdy fabric, and a tailored fit. The overall design allowed for ease of movement and durability, making it an ideal choice for women working in various industries and on the farm. The popularity of the Agricola Outfit can be attributed to its practicality and versatility. It provided women with the necessary protection and comfort required for their work while also maintaining a sense of femininity. The overall design was also a symbol of the changing roles of women during this time, as they took on new responsibilities and proved their capabilities in various sectors. This photograph serves as a reminder of the significant contributions women made during World War I, both on the battlefield and on the home front. The Agricola Outfit was just one of the many ways in which clothing adapted to meet the needs of women in their new roles, reflecting the evolving social and cultural landscape of the time.
