The Women's Land Army

The Women's Land Army (WLA) was a British organization established during World War I and again in World War II, aimed at recruiting women to work in agriculture, as many men had gone to fight in the war. Women in the WLA undertook various tasks, including farming and food production, to help sustain the nation. Their contributions were vital for ensuring food supplies and maintaining agricultural output during the conflicts. The WLA played a crucial role in changing societal perceptions of women's capabilities in the workforce, paving the way for greater gender equality in subsequent years.
