Introduction
Part I: Creating the women's land army
Prewar precendents
The federal government and the WLA
"Now we're set"-outfitting the WLA
"Pitch in and help"-calling women to farms

Part II: The women's land army in action
The east-Dorothy Thompson led the way
The west-"ho! for a tall glass of lemonade!"
The midwest-in the house or in the fields
The south-when race and class get in the way
The WLA and postwar women.
