“As the need for steel and other resources increased, American citizens participated in
rationing programs, as well as recycling and scrap metal drives. Americans also
supported the war effort with their hard-earned dollars by purchasing Liberty bonds.
Sold by the U.S. government, the bonds raised money for the war and helped the bond
purchasers feel they were doing their part for the war effort.”

Finding bread alternatives may seem like a thoroughly modern obsession. (Can someone pass
the chia-millet rolls?) But the widespread search for substitutes to white flour, in particular, dates
back at least a century, to World War I, when Allied forces aggressively urged consumers to
change their starchy habits for nationalistic reasons.

On one hand, bread was symbolically important: It conjured up ideas of comfort that were
especially welcome during a time of fear and turmoil. The act of sharing a loaf — literally
breaking bread together — carried psychological weight.

"If you had bread, you were OK," says Joanne Lamb Hayes, author of the book Grandma's
Wartime Kitchen.

Problem was, diners on both sides of the ocean had a taste for white bread, which made use of
only part of the wheat crop and wasted the rest. Plus, Britain, an island nation, imported much of
its food, including its grain — a task made harder with German submarines prowling the waters.
In this atmosphere, indulging in white flour was viewed as wastefulness akin to aiding and
abetting the enemy. At the same time, Allied forces called on the U.S. to donate some of its wheat
crop to feed troops and civilians overseas. So, in the U.S. and U.K., government campaigns
encouraged patriots to give up refined white bread in favor of heartier whole wheat or to add
other ingredients as fillers.

Legend has it that the first woman Marine was Lucy Brewer who supposedly served,
disguised as a man, on hoard the frigate Constitution in the war of 1812. (1) While there is no
evidence that Miss Brewer ever wore a Marine uniform there can be no question about Opha
Johnson, who on 13 August 1918 enrolled in the Marine Corps to become America's first woman
Marine. (2) TIer enlistment was a reflection of the dramatic changes in the status of women
wrought by the entry of the United States into World War I.

The nation was already heavily committed to the support of the Allies when the
declaration of war was signed in April 1917, and as thousands of young men rushed to volunteer
for the Armed Services, and the draft gathered in hundreds more, the labor potential of women
for the first time in the history of the United States became, of monumental importance. In
August 1917, four months after the Navy opened its doors to women in an effort to support the
increasing administrative demands of the war, the Secretary of the Navy said: "In my opinion the
importance of the part which our American women play in the successful prosecution of the war
cannot be overestimated." (3) In October of that same year the New Republic commented: "Our
output of the necessities of war must increase at the same time that we must provide for the needs
of the civil populations of 'the countries allied with us. Where are we to get the labor?...The chief
potential resource at our command lies evidently in the increased employment of women." (4)

Though stunned by the events of December 7, Americans were also resolute. On

December 8, President Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war against Japan. The
declaration passed with just one dissenting vote. Three days later, Germany and Italy,
allied with Japan, declared war on the United States. America was now drawn into a
global war. It had allies in this fight--most importantly Great Britain and the Soviet Union.
But the job the nation faced in December 1941 was formidable.
