After the United States entered World War I in 1917, Americans worried about labor and food shortages as a result of men going off to fight. Organizations like the Woman's Land Army of America and the Woman's National Farm and Garden Association recruited and trained women to perform agricultural work. Many women formed lasting friendships and continued farm labor after the war had ended.
