​This poster calls on women all over Israel to vote for the party of Wizo and the Union of Women for Equal Rights. The poster was aimed at women who had no historical connection with a party to the left or right of the political spectrum. In the centre of the poster appears the letter “נ” – the party’s letter at the ballot box – along with illustrations of women engaged in a variety of jobs and activities. The different jobs featured on the poster match not only the Zionist vision of equal employment –farmers, soldiers, teachers, police, nurses, and cooks – but also traditional roles such as child care.
