YMCA poster printed for the United War Work Campaign from WWI. Poster shows Americans the extraordinary fight that the people of France had gone through for, at the time, 4 years. The poster promotes the work carried out by French women during wartime. Their hair bound up, hard at work in a French foundry, two pouring molten metal, the third forging a piece of machinery. This was usually men's work. Women for the first time were able to work in a male dominated industry, and would win the right to vote the next year.
