Its title, *Back our girls over there*, addresses the young women it shows, and the subject headings point to telephone operators and other women workers of the war years. The color lithograph was made in 1918 to promote the United War Work Campaign, a combined fundraising drive for several wartime service organizations, including the Young Women's Christian Association. Clarence F. Underwood, an illustrator, designed it as an appeal to donors to support women serving overseas and at home. Its message treats civilian women as essential to the war effort, not just the men in uniform.
