Biographical/Historical Note

The United War Work Campaign brought together seven organizations, including the Young Women's Christian Association, to assist in war relief efforts and raise funds for the war. They also supported women workers on the home front. During World War I, women served in the Navy and Marines and as Nurses. Women also worked many jobs traditionally held by men due to the shortage of male workers at the time.
