This British First World War poster was published by Dangerfield Printing and aims to encourage women to enroll for work, both overseas and at home, in an attempt to free up men for the front line. The women were encouraged to join Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps. The UK's Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (1917-1918) was later named Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps (1918-1920). Over 57,000 women served between January 1917 and November 1918. On 31 March 1917 women in the WAAC were first sent to the battlefields in France, just 14 cooks and waitresses. The main way this message is communicated in this poster is through text. The poster describes the type of work women can participate in, how much they would get paid and the benefits that come with certain jobs. All of these techniques were utilized to encourage women to work.
