Auction Wizard 2000 Listing Template - AW2KLOT#:15349This is an original poster printed in 1944
. It has been mounted to linen to protect it. It is in great condition. Titled "Woman's Place in War" by artist Irving Cooper.
In this World War II recruitment poster for the Women's Army Corps (WAC) the message is clear: a woman's place in war is in the Army, carrying out essential war work and serving her country. This recruit operates a weather station, an unusual job for a woman, and generally reserved for those in battalions stationed overseas. As the war intensified, women were presented with more and more ground-breaking opportunities to undertake duties which had previously been the preserve of men. In establishing the WAC, Congress had granted women military status, widening, to some extent, the options available to those who wanted greater military experience.
Poster mounted measures 25 x 38 inches. Only damage is a small tear at the bottom that was there when it was mounted so not really an issue now.
