money was need at the time to fund the war. so to get the money ads scared people into buying bonds. the ad depicts the enemy solider hurting a girl. it is meant to make you want to buy bonds for the war so that all the bad stuff doesn't happen anymore. this ad was to boost women's' want to work. they placed a strong looking women to prove a point on just how Strong women are. "we can do it!" was the ideology that women could do the job of men. during war times women had to do male roles in the work force
