Help for the Farmer: The Women's Land Army in WWI

Communities across the country in World War I had a problem. There was a shortage of farm labor due to men fighting in the war in Europe. By 1917, the Woman's Land Army was established, employing young women across the country on farms. Explore the experiences of women serving in the Woman's Land Army in Morristown, NJ. Through primary source analysis, this resource kit illustrates the organization of the WLA both nationally and locally in Morristown.
