About this work

This poster shows a crowd of people shouting and raising their fists. The faces are bold and red against a dark background. At the top, smaller images of a nun, a judge, and a politician appear behind a banner with the words "NOT THE CHURCH AND NOT THE STATE." The text at the bottom reads: *"A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE FREE ABORTION ON DEMAND."* The faces look determined, some with clenched fists or open mouths, as if protesting loudly. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more posters like this.
