Land Army women

The Land Army women, known as the Women’s Land Army (WLA), was a British organization during World War II that employed women to work in agriculture. As many men were away fighting in the war, women stepped in to fill labor shortages on farms, ensuring food production continued. These women undertook various tasks, from planting and harvesting to livestock care. Their contributions were crucial for maintaining food supplies during the war, and they were recognized for their hard work and resilience. The WLA significantly challenged traditional gender roles, highlighting women's capabilities in fields historically dominated by men.
