She stoops, she kneels, she shuffles
Description
These three cartoons show a young woman from the land army in amusing poses as she stoops over a plant, crawls along rows of plants, and shuffles along the ground on her bottom.
Grace Taylor joined the Australian Women's Land Army (AWLA) in 1942 as a Field Officer responsible for the administration of AWLA workers. She founded an unofficial newsletter for the Land Army Girls, to which she contributed humorous verse, prose and cartoons.
