This World War I-era poster was part of the United War Work Campaign, a collaborative effort by seven organizations—including the YWCA and YMCA—to raise funds for morale-boosting services for U.S. troops. Promoting the "Victory Girls" initiative, the image portrays a young woman confidently rowing a boat labeled Victory, symbolizing the collective strength and resolve of American women supporting the war effort from home.
