Women made half of what is here, and they hold the front of the board: Ethel Reed's posters in black and hot orange, Geronima Parasole's battle cut in hard woodcut lines. Around them a Paris crowd marches with a woman out in front, Medusa screams, and Judith lifts her sword under a banner that calls her the strong woman.
