Repeated six times on either side of the symbol is a small drawing of a female figure from the shoulders up. The left side of the poster has the text: "Susan Brownell Anthony / 1820-1906 / 150th Anniversary of her Birth / Early abolitionist against slavery; radical feminist / and suffragist; editor, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, / of radical feminist periodical, Revolution. / Whoever controls work and wages, controls morals. / Therefore, we must have women employers, superintendents, / committees, Legislators; wherever girls go to seek / the means of subsistence, there must be some woman. / -Susan B. Anthony / But we are not dreamers or fanatics; and we know that / the ballot when we get it, will achieve for woman no / more than it has achieved for man. And to drop all / other demands for the sake of uniting to demand the / ballot only, may seem the whole duty of the Woman's Journal, / But it is only a very small part of the mission of the Revolution. / The ballot is not even half the loaf; it is only a crust - a crumb. / The ballot touches only those interests , either of women / or men, which take their root in political questions. / But woman's chief discontent is...with her social, / and particularly her marital bondage. The solemn and / profound question of marriage...is of more vital consequences / to woman's welfare...and more thoroughly constitutes / the core of the woman's movement, than any such superficial / and fragmentary question as woman's suffrage / -Revolution, August 26, 1869 / We call for nothing less than emancipation from all political, / industrial, social, and religious subjection. / -Susan B. Anthony". The right side of the poster has a drawing of four female figures marching in a line. The figures are wearing sashes and carrying flags with slogans like: "Freedom For Women" and "Abolish Slavery". Verso is pages 16 and 13 of an issue of "rat" an underground newspaper.
