Women's Land Army (UK)

The Women's Land Army (WLA) was a UK organization established during World War II to recruit women to work in agriculture. With many men serving in the military, the WLA helped increase food production by mobilizing women as farm laborers. Women worked in fields, tending crops, and raising livestock, ensuring the country could sustain itself during wartime shortages. The movement symbolized women's essential contribution to national effort and helped challenge traditional gender roles, demonstrating their capability in physically demanding and vital roles in agriculture.
