Women's Agricultural Corps

The Women’s Agricultural Corps (WAC) was established during World War I in various countries, including Britain, to mobilize women to support agricultural production amidst labor shortages caused by the war. Women in the WAC took on roles such as farming, planting, and harvesting, ensuring food supply remained stable. This initiative highlighted women's contributions to agriculture and challenged traditional gender roles. The effort not only aimed to sustain the war effort but also positioned women as vital contributors to the economy, paving the way for future advancements in women’s rights and roles in society.
