Women's Land Army

The Women's Land Army (WLA) was an organization in the UK, particularly notable during World War I and World War II, where women worked in agriculture to fill labor shortages caused by the absence of men who were fighting in the wars. Members of the WLA, often referred to as "Land Girls," engaged in various farming activities, including planting and harvesting crops and caring for livestock. This initiative not only contributed significantly to food production but also empowered women, showcasing their capability in roles traditionally held by men and influencing societal views on women's work.
