Its headline makes a direct appeal: thirty-five women doctors are already overseas, and the rest are ready to go if someone will "put us across." Designed by Thelma Cudlipp and printed as a color lithograph in 1918, the poster asks the public for $200,000 to support American women's hospitals in Europe. The Medical Women's National Association promoted the campaign during the First World War, when women physicians were working near the front and needed funds for their hospitals. The poster shows how the war opened medical service to women while still limiting their access to it.
