Bаckgrоund: This enlistment pоster is the wоrk of аrtist Howаrd Chandler Christy. He often used sex to make his point; the women he drew were called Christy Girls, and they tended to be sexy and wholesome at the same time. The Museum of Modern Art has this to say about this poster: "In World War I, the frontline was not viewed as a place fit for a woman. While kept away from direct combat, however, women were a valuable asset in recruiting men to the navy. The winsome pin–up in Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man (modeled by Mrs. E. LeRoy Finch) sports a fluttering naval uniform; the whole look and chatty tone was extremely effective in underscoring the masculine appeal of serving soldiers. Here was a woman worth fighting for. The poster was admired for its American “punch” and "air of glad youth which came like a Spring wind over our war-weary spirits."

Bаckgrоund: The 1910s wаs а decade where mоtiоn pictures increased greatly in popularity and profitability. The poster below may have been capitalizing on the popularity of a 1916 silent movie by famous filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille called "Joan the Woman," wherein a British soldier is inspired to go on a suicide mission after discovering the sword of 15th-century French military hero Joan of Arc. The historical Joan of Arc was eventually burned at the stake for blasphemy and dressing as a man, but her military leadership arguably saved France during the Hundred Years' War, so she has been a powerful symbol for centuries since. Question: Other than the popularity of Joan the Woman, why do you suppose the artist chose Joan of Arc as the subject of their poster? What about this portrayal of Joan of Arc supports or subverts traditional gendered ideas about women and combat?
