Description: "Ladies Into Farmarettes/They were called ladies and wore long skirts or - for some activities - bloomers, but the female of the species kept the home fires burning in World War I. They marched in parades, boosted sales of Liberty Bonds, practiced Home Defense tactics, took up gardening in backyards and on golf courses. These farmerettes were students and faculty members of Western College at Oxford, Ohio."
