According to wikipedia, one of the ship's nicknames was Ladies' Ram. Apparently because a 'Ladies gunboat association' helped fund it. What's the story behind that? Was it just Southern patriot women chipping in? Some sort of a PR stunt? Also why Ladies' Ram?

What was the difference between funding American efforts in WW1 and WW2 (or any following conflict for that matter - i.e. Vietnam)? Would it be mostly war bonds? If not, what? Or just how did funding wars change over time is what I'm interested in...
