EDITORS COMMENTS
Every Girl Pulling for Victory" is a powerful and evocative lithograph created by American artist Edward Penfield in 1918 for the Victory Girls United War Work Campaign, published by Harper Publications in New York. This iconic image encapsulates the spirit of unity and determination that swept across America during the First World War. The composition features a solitary figure of a woman, dressed in a blue and cream blouse and skirt, intently focused on rowing a small boat. She is surrounded by a sea of other women, each manning their own oars, all dressed in similar attire, their gazes fixed on the horizon. The boats form a seemingly endless line, stretching out to the distant shoreline, where a sailboat and a sailor can be seen in the background, adding to the nautical theme. The title of the work, "Every Girl Pulling for Victory," is elegantly written in capital letters at the top, with the artist's name, "Edward Penfield," and the publisher, "Harper Publications," in smaller text below. The use of color is minimal, with the predominantly blue and cream color palette adding to the sense of calm and unity. This image served as a powerful propaganda tool during the war effort, encouraging women to contribute to the war effort through various forms of work, particularly in industries that released men to join the military. The image of women working together, pulling for a common goal, became a symbol of American resilience and determination during a time of great upheaval and change. Today, "Every Girl Pulling for Victory" remains an important piece of American heritage art, showcasing the strength and unity of the American people during a pivotal moment in history. It can be found in the Wallach Division Picture Collection of the New York Public Library.
