Women's Overseas Service League

The Women's Overseas Service League (WOSL) is a non-governmental organization based in the United States.

It was founded in May 1921 to provide financial support and relationships for and between servicewomen who returned from World War I to no benefits, unlike their male counterparts.

The women had served in France during World War I as nurses, Signal Corps telephone operators, canteen workers, librarians, and entertainers.
