Description
English: This painting by Manly MacDonald was created for the Canadian War Memorials Fund, an organization established to document Canada’s First World War effort. In this painting, MacDonald depicts farmerettes in the Niagara Region. There was no uniform for the farmerettes, but the young women who volunteered their services learned to war loose-fitting dressings to accommodate the heavy labour involved in working the land and broad-brimmed hats to protect against the sun. In 1918, 2,400 women served as farmerettes and assisted fruit farmers in the Niagara region.
Français : Cette toile fut peinte par Manly MacDonald pour le Fonds de souvenirs de guerre canadiens, un organisme créé pour documenter l’effort de guerre du Canada pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Dans cette œuvre, MacDonald représente des ouvrières agricoles dans la région du Niagara. Ces ouvrières n’avaient pas d’uniforme, mais les jeunes femmes qui offraient leurs services prirent l’habitude de porter des vêtements amples pour être à l’aise en vue d’accomplir les durs travaux de la terre et des chapeaux à larges bords pour se protéger du soleil. En 1918, 2400 femmes servirent comme ouvrières agricoles et prêtèrent main-forte aux agriculteurs de la région du Niagara.
