Woman's Land Army of America : ウィキペディア英語版 | Woman's Land Army of America thumb The Woman's Land Army of America (WLAA), later the Women's Land Army (WLA), was a civilian organization created during the First and Second World Wars to work in agriculture replacing men called up to the military. Women who worked for the WLAA were sometimes known as farmerettes.〔http://www.radcliffe.edu/schles/schlesnews_lostarmy.aspx〕 The WLAA was modeled on the British Women's Land Army.〔 From the preface to the article: "Inspired by the women of Great Britain, organized as the Land Lassies, the Woman's Land Army of America was established by a consortium of women's organizations—including gardening clubs, suffrage societies, women's colleges, civic groups, and the YWCA."〕 ==First World War==
The Woman's Land Army of America (WLAA) operated from 1917 to 1919, organized in 42 states, and employing more than 20,000 women.〔〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Before Rosie the Riveter, Farmerettes Went to Work )〕 It was inspired by the women of Great Britain who had organized as the Women's Land Army, also known as the Land Girls or Land Lassies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History, Travel, Arts, Science, People, Places - Smithsonian )〕 Many of the women of the WLAA were college educated, and units were associated with colleges.〔http://groups.ucanr.org/victorygrower/Historical_Models/Womans_Land_Army_of_America,_ca_WWI.htm〕〔http://groups.ucanr.org/victorygrower/files/52140.ppt〕 Most of them had never worked on farms before.〔 They were paid equally with male farm laborers and had an eight-hour workday.〔 The WLAA workers eventually became wartime icons, much as Rosie the Riveter would in World War Two.〔 The WLAA was supported by progressives like Theodore Roosevelt, and was strongest in the West and Northeast, where it was associated with the suffrage movement. Other groups helping to organize the WLAA included the Woman's National Farm and Garden Association (WNFGA), the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women, the State Council of Defense of some states, the Garden Club of America, and the YMCA. In addition to the WLAA, the U.S. government sponsored the U.S School Garden Army and the National War Garden Commission. Opposition came from Nativists, opponents of President Woodrow Wilson, and those who questioned the women's strength and the effect on their health.〔
