The “total” character of World War I ensured that women would be mobilized for the struggle in many ways. American women, for example, were strongly encouraged to save food, especially wheat, to support the war effort. Posters also gave the great struggle a feminine face, as illustrated in Visual Source 20.2. A 1917 U.S. poster, it sought to encourage people to buy Liberty Bonds, which raised money for the war effort and demonstrated the buyer’s patriotism.
