1917 Homefront Poster Triangle Volunteer World War I Ywca
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from 1917, titled "WWI: YWCA POSTER" transports us back to the homefront during World War I. The poster, created by the Y. W. C. A. War Work Council, carries a powerful message that resonates even today: "Remember the girl behind the man behind the gun". In this image, we see a young woman standing proudly with her head held high. She represents countless women who played vital roles in supporting their loved ones serving on the front lines of war. The triangular shape framing her symbolizes strength and unity. The lithograph serves as a call to action for volunteers to join the Y. W. C. A. , an organization dedicated to providing support and resources for those affected by war. It reminds us that while men may be at war, it is often women who bear immense burdens on the homefront. The simplicity of this print allows its message to shine through clearly - highlighting not only the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers but also recognizing and honoring those left behind. It serves as a poignant reminder that wars impact entire communities, including women who play crucial roles in keeping society functioning during times of conflict. This historical artifact captures both a moment in time and timeless themes of resilience and solidarity amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, let us remember all those unsung heroes whose contributions are often overlooked but remain essential parts of our collective history.
