See Red Women's Workshop, UK (c.1974-1990s). Part II.

Statement:

We are a recently formed group of women interested in visual aspects of the Womens Struggle. We want to combat images of the "model woman" which are used by capitalist ideology to keep women from disputing their secondary status or questioning their role in a male dominated society.

We hope to do this by putting forward a positive image of women by:

a) producing posters, illustrations, cartoons and photographs ourselves;

b) providing visual material for womens publications and groups;

c) collecting images past, present and future which indicate the position of women in our society today e.g. the everyday assaults of advertising, etc. We want to build up a collection of examples of the positive and negative aspects of the image of women for the use of any group, periodical or individual presenting a constructive statement on matters concerning Women's Liberation. We would like to receive any relevant images in order to operate an expanding and ongoing collection concerned with Womens Struggle.

Any women interested are welcome to come round and meet us and to use our facilities and learn printing methods.
