The caption title, Women's Land Army, points to a wartime labor effort rather than a single place or person, though the record gives no location or date. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency whose negatives make up this collection, supplied pictures to newspapers from about 1900 into the 1920s. The name most likely refers to the Woman's Land Army of America, formed in 1917 to send women to farm work after many men left for military service in World War I. Because the title comes from unverified caption data, the picture's exact subject should be read with some caution.
