The National League for Woman's Service mobilized thousands of American women during World War I to support the war effort through canteen work, motor transport, clothing production, and administrative service. This exhibit booth, part of a Cincinnati war-work exposition, proudly reports that the League's General Service Committee placed 3,088 women in war campaign roles. A young soldier stands alongside League volunteers, illustrating the close partnership between military and civilian home-front efforts during 1917-1919. Project: 218708
