This glass negative carries the title of the National Woman's Defense League, a women's group tied to the debate over American military preparedness in the years before and during World War I. The organization's aims centered on civilian readiness and women's place in national defense. The Library's record dates the negative only to a span between 1909 and 1940, and the title comes from data supplied by the National Photo Company that has not been independently verified. Viewers may notice streaks and small blemishes on the glass, the result of natural deterioration in the original coating.
