"City Strangulation" printed at bottom right below image and Copyright 1972 by Womens Graphics Collective 852 W. Belmont, Chicago" printed at bottom center.

Poster printed in yellow, purple, red, and black ink on white paper. A large mustard organic spiral similar in appearance to a snail shell on its side fills the majority of the composition at left. A form with yellow and red wavy lines like fire or the rays of a sun radiates from the spiral's opening at upper left. A human face with its mouth open appears at the center of the spiral, and line of black and white geometric rectangular forms follows the outer edge of spiral extending from bottom center to center. A purple background with horizontal lines is visible on the top and right side of the spiral with three yellow figurative shapes that recall animals such as a bird or jellyfish.
