Four Years in the Fight - The Women of France - We Owe Them Houses of Cheer
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative poster designed by Lucien Jonas for the YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association) during the First World War, circa 1918. This poster is a poignant reminder of the significant role women played during the conflict, particularly in France. The image features a group of determined and resilient French women, depicted in various industrial roles, working together to manufacture metal components for the war effort. The women are shown in a factory setting, surrounded by machinery and tools, demonstrating their crucial contribution to the war industry. The caption above the women reads "Four Years in the Fight," emphasizing the length and intensity of their involvement. Below the image, the caption continues with "The Women of France - We Owe Them Houses of Cheer." This phrase underscores the gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices and hard work of these women, who not only contributed to the war effort but also endured the challenges of wartime. The "Houses of Cheer" likely refer to the YWCA's efforts to provide support and comfort to these women through various programs and facilities. Lucien Jonas' design effectively conveys the spirit of unity, determination, and gratitude towards the women's efforts during the First World War. The use of bold typography, strong imagery, and a clear message made this poster an effective tool for raising awareness and funds for the United War Work Campaign. This poster is a testament to the essential role women played in the war effort and their enduring impact on history.
