United States Women's Land Army

The United States Women's Land Army was a program during World War II that recruited women to work in agriculture to help produce food and support the war effort. Women took on roles traditionally held by men, such as planting, harvesting, and managing farms, ensuring enough supplies for troops and civilians. The initiative highlighted women's contributions to national security during a critical time, promoting economic independence and societal change. Though not as widely known as other wartime efforts, the Women’s Land Army played a vital role in maintaining U.S. food production during World War II.
