Every Girl Pulling for Victory: Victory Girls, United War Work Campaign
A young woman in a sailor-style blouse rows a boat marked 'VICTORY' across blue water, looking back over her shoulder, under the headline 'Every Girl Pulling for Victory'. The foot of the sheet names the 'Victory Girls' of the United War Work Campaign. The tell is the universal 'every girl' paired with a group name, which invites each viewer to see herself already inside the effort.
