Help! The Women's Land Army of America, New Jersey Division: A Call to Service and Patriotism This powerful poster, dating back to 1918, encapsulates the spirit of the Women's Land Army of America (WLA) during World War I. The image, featuring Uncle Sam shaking hands with a determined woman holding a hoe, was produced by the New Jersey Division of the WLA and displayed at the State House in Trenton. The Women's Land Army was established in response to the labor shortage caused by the war. With men away fighting, the agricultural industry was in dire need of workers. The WLA provided an opportunity for women to contribute to the war effort by working on farms and producing food for the country. This poster, with its striking design and clear message, was an effective recruitment tool. The image of Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism, reaching out to a woman demonstrates the inclusion of women in the war effort. The woman's strong stance and the hoe in her hand represent her readiness to work and her commitment to the cause. The backdrop of the New Jersey State House adds a sense of authority and legitimacy to the poster. The use of the state flag and the words "New Jersey Division" reinforces the idea that this was a state-sanctioned organization. The Women's Land Army of America played a vital role in the war effort, with over 11,000 women serving in 37 states. Their contributions to agriculture helped ensure food production and security during a time of great need. This poster is a testament to their patriotism, determination, and the important role women played during World War I.
