The top of the poster has a stylized drawing of a female figure, shown from the chest up; she is wearing dark clothing, a dark hat, and round eyeglasses. The background of the drawing consists of several large triangular fields of blue, black, red, and green. The bottom of the poster has the text: "Mary Harris 'Mother' Jones / 'The Most Dangerous Woman in America' / On July 24, 1902, Mary Harris Jones appeared in the federal court at Parkersburg, West Virginia, / arrested for ignoring an injunction banning meetings by striking miners. District Attorney Reese / Blizzard pointed to her and announced, "There sits the most dangerous woman in America. She comes / into a state where peace and prosperity reign. She crooks her finger - twenty thousand contented / men lay down their tools and walk out.' Mother Jones died on November 30, 1930, having devoted the / last half of her long and eventful life to struggles for justice. Miners were her particular cause, but / she also worked to stop child labor and helped found the Wobblies (Industrial Workers of the World). / Artist: Rupert Garcia".
