Question

Amy Bentley’s book on the politics of these places discusses the masculine rhetoric in their “leader’s handbook.” These places were spearheaded by Charles Lathrop Pack’s 1917 commission, whose destructive effects delayed their revival under Claude R. Wickard. A cartoon depicts bombers helping Barney Bear create one of these places, which are called “munition plants” in a propaganda poster of a flag-clad woman. One of these places is preserved in the north end of the Back Bay Fens in Boston. (10[1])Extension Service pamphlets dispatched advice about these places to complement Florence Hall’s larger-scale labor corps, which revived the Women’s Land (10[1])Army. Eleanor Roosevelt (10[1])showcased one of (10[1])these (10[1])places on the White House (10[2]-5[1])lawn. (10[4])For 10 points, (10[2])households (10[1])on (10[1])the “kitchen (10[1])front” (10[1])tended what domestic plots (10[2])to supplement wartime produce (10[1])(“PRO-duce”) rations? (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[2])
