Inhaltsangabe

Based on true events from World War I, this fictional story follows “farmerette” Helen Stevens as she trains to farm the land, convinces a farm owner to hire her and her colleagues, negotiates a fair wage, and does her bit for the war effort.

Beginning as a movement to put women to work on farms in place of men serving overseas during WWI, the Woman's Land Army grew to be an integral part of the food supply chain during the war. This unique look at a forgotten history celebrates the true grit of American men and women.

Helen Stevens was a New York City college girl. She’d never pitched hay or milked a cow. And she’d certainly never worn men’s overalls. But it was 1917, and there was a war on.
            Helen rolled bandages and knit socks for soldiers headed overseas. But she wanted something more— to do her bit. Yes, indeed, she wanted an adventure.
            One day, Helen saw a sign that took root in her heart.
            At Helen’s farewell luncheon, her father said, “Woman’s Land Army—craziest thing I ever heard. No farmer in his right mind would hire you girls.”
            Helen looked right at him. “They’ll have to. With so many men working in factories or training to fight, who else will bring in the crops?”
