She’s Ready, Too. Buy War Bonds.

A 1942 poster calls American women to action during the Second World War


A determined young woman wearing a modern outfit strides with purpose. She is seen grabbing her sizable purse, slung over her left shoulder. Within is her ammunition to help fight the War; money with which to buy war bonds.

Behind her —in silhouette and in silent strength— is the Daniel Chester French statue “Minute Man” adjacent to the North Bridge over the Concord River, in Concord, Massachusetts in honor of the Battle of Concord during the American Revolution.

A striking and strong poster showing the efforts to involve civilian American women in the Second World War.


Description: She’s Ready, Too. Buy War Bonds.

US Govt. Printing Office. 1942. Poster. 28 x 22 inches. Shrink-wrapped to foam core; two short closed tears; fold lines; striking and clean; very good condition.
