WWI and WWII ads aimed towards women

This is another advertisement promoting the Women's Land Army in the US.
Advertisements depicting patriotic women growing their own food was common during the World Wars.
 
Women were encouraged to can their food.

Manys ads depicted women wearing dresses made out of American flags. This was a way America encouraged patriotism among women. America's goal was to get everyone (even children) involved in an effort to help the country during the war.
