World War 1 Propaganda

  • The cartoonist I believe is trying to say that because this is a total war, that not only men are needed now. Women and children are too, because during the war, women began taking over the men's jobs who were off fighting. The children part I believe is included because also during this time, there was rationing, which meant everyone had to sacrifice material things such as clothing and also food.
  • It exaggerates this by showing a picture of a woman wearing American colored clothes shown by the red and white strips plus the blue and the stars, sleeping while the war's going on. 
  • My opinion of this comment is that it's ironic because it shows a woman sleeping though during this war, women were very much active working in factories, offices, hospitals, shops and fields.
