| Description | Lot-6504-2: Heroic Women of France by Dr. Alonzo Taylor. My words are not powerful enough to do even scanty justice to the most heroic figure in the modern world, and of ages past, the women of France. Of the healthy men who are engaged in the military service in France, practically all are engaged either in transportation or in the manufacture of munitions, leaving the agriculture absolutely to the women. Not only this, but they have stepped into the place of work animals; you can go into any section of France today and see women of magnificent, noble womanhood hitched to the plough and cultivating the soil. All of the agriculture rest upon their shoulders. The home, always and extremely efficient home, maintains a few old men, the wounded and the tubercular. Uncomplaining, with high devotion, with an attitude that amounts to religious exaltation, the women of France bears the burden. Now, conditions being of our life at the expense of adding and additional burden to the womanhood of France? This is exact question that is involved in our substitution of other cereals in the place of wheat. The women of France must be enabled to hold up the moral of the French soldier until next spring. The moral of the house decides the morale of the solder in the fighting line. We can do this by giving to them the greatest possible freedom in their food supply, and of this, wheat is the chief factor. as they are, does it lie within the heart of the American people to preserve and hold to every convenience U.S. Food Administration Photograph.
