World War I propaganda posters
Be a trained nurse
More and more women were working outside the home in the 1910s, and this poster spoke to women’s desire for a career of their own. Nursing, it said, “offers almost unlimited opportunities.”
LEARN NC was a program of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Education from 1997 – 2013. It provided lesson plans, professional development, and innovative web resources to support teachers, build community, and improve K-12 education in North Carolina. Learn NC is no longer supported by the School of Education – this is a historical archive of their website.
