Subject: In England, Scotland, and Wales during the First World War, the Women's Land Army evolved from a disparate group of training and educational programs into a national effort to organise women for home food production. Between managing the overstated propaganda expectations for women farm workers and combating public fears about the unwomanly activities of Land Girls, oragnisers successfully recruited, trained, and placed thousands of women on British farms and helped feed the nation during the turbulent years of 1917 to 1919.
