The slogan "For the Safety of Womanhood" and the words "Help 'Till It Hurts" set this 1918 color lithograph apart from the many recruiting and bond posters of the period. It ran as a supplement in The Delineator, a women's monthly with a large readership, during the final year of American involvement in World War I. Wartime magazines often framed home-front duty as a way for women to protect their families and communities, and this appeal follows that pattern, asking readers to give generously to the cause. The artist is credited only as "Ker" in the record, so the attribution is worth noting for researchers.
