Weiss, a journalist, tells the story of the women who served in the Woman's Land Army of America during World War I, known as farmerettes, who took over farm work in the rural parts of the country after men were called to fight in the war. Using archival materials, newspaper accounts, and photos, she traces the roots of this volunteer corps to political and social movements such as the Women's Land Army of Great Britain, suffrage, urban and rural reform, scientific work management, and labor rights, and brings their forgotten history to light. She also describes specific work in California, Maryland, Connecticut, Illinois, New England, New Jersey, Georgia, and other states. Distributed by Books International.
