USA 1917-1918 : Femmes au travail

La légende mentionne une charrue.
Il s'agit plutôt d'un extirpateur* / houe à céréales, utilisé pour briser les mottes de terre.
Une version étroite, tirée par un seul cheval servait à désherber entre des sillons.
Les bottes en cuir avec talon, c'est une tenue peu fréquente dans le travail des champs.

Voilà un siècle, 19 photos montrant les femmes au travail, Huffington Post, 26.03.2015

Ne pas oublier que les femmes travaillent déjà avant 14-18
(7 M d'actives recensées en France en 1911.
Y ajouter une sous-déclaration du travail à la ferme, par ex pour la traite des vaches)

Les photos US, surtout celles du travail de la terre, sont réalistes (photos 11, 16, 17, 18).
A la différence des affiches de propagande utilisées aux USA et au Canada pour vendre des bons du Trésor.
Les dessinateurs ont souvent exploité une photo invraisemblable et stupide (3 femmes tirant une herse)
diffusée en juillet 1917 par le magazine Lectures Pour Tous.
