EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a "farmerette" member of the Woman's Land Army of America in Los Angeles between c1915 and 1918. During World War I, women were encouraged to work in agriculture to replace men who were serving in the military. The woman in the image is dressed in practical bib overalls and a hat, ready for a day of hard work on the farm.
Her determined expression and confident stance reflect her commitment to supporting the war effort on the home front. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the vital role that women played during this tumultuous period in history.
The image adds to its timeless quality, allowing us to glimpse into a moment from over a century ago. The details captured by Bain News Service highlight not only the fashion clothing of that era but also provide insight into the daily life and occupation of agricultural workers at that time.
As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by women like her who stepped up to fill crucial roles during times of crisis. This farmerette stands as a symbol of empowerment and dedication, embodying the spirit of those who worked tirelessly for their country during wartime.
