Women's Land Army (Britain and America)

During World War I England and Wales created the Women's Land Army, an organization that encouraged women to take over farm work that men would normally do. The lack of men due to the war left women no other choice but to do the work themselves. America also created a Women's Land Army soon after. Both countries used the Women's Land Army through the first and second world war.
