Propaganda Posters
The first poster is a woman wearing a nurses outfit holding a child and it says our greatest mother. It encouraged women to join the war as nurses and showed a connection between motherhood and being a red cross nurse. This suggests that women from America would make good nurses because they are good mothers.
The second poster shows a woman holding a paper and it says be a trained nurse. She is also opening the door to opportunity. This poster was again encouraging women to be nurses. This is trying to convince women that being a nurse would be a greater opportunity for women than staying home because the city behind her is on fire.
The third poster shows a woman working as a telephone operator near a battle and it says back our girls over there. This is encouraging women to get involved in the war. It also mentions the United War Work Campaign and the YWCA. The United War Work Campaign worked with several organizations including the YWCA to raise money for the war. This poster specifically wants people to donate money in order to help the women involved in the war.
