World War I women's recruitment poster[edit]

Recruitment poster for women to join the United States Navy, 1917.

The Navy was the first branch of the U.S. armed forces to accept women in capacities other than nursing. This vintage World War I poster promises fair advancement to any person who enlists. The insignia on her sleeve indicate 8-11 years' service and the senior enlisted rank of chief (E-7). To the best of my knowledge, this was the first recruitment poster in U.S. military history to seek women for anything other than nursing. Appears at Yeoman (F), Female roles in the World Wars.
