Howard Chandler Christy, "Gee! I Wish I Were a Man". (Navy Recruitment Poster) 1918

Patriotism and feminism formed a strong united front in Howard Chandler Christy's "Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man" Navy recruitment poster. Originator of the Christy Girl, a beautiful, idealized woman who radiated strength and independence, Christy (1873 - 1952) originally illustrated the Spanish-American War from the battlefront for a number of publications.
