Its slogan, "You are needed now," addresses women directly and points them to Red Cross recruiting stations, which handled applications for the Army Nurse Corps. Issued in 1943, when the United States was fighting on several fronts, the poster reflects the wartime shortage of trained nurses for military hospitals at home and overseas. Posters like this one used direct appeals and bold color to bring women into service roles that had long been limited in size. The artist's name appears in the title, Ruzzie Green, and the piece is cataloged among the government's wartime recruiting posters.
