The headline "But can she type?" turns a common put-down into the poster's argument, and the woman at its center is Golda Meir, Israel's prime minister from 1969 to 1974. The Seattle-King County chapter of the National Organization for Women produced it around 1970, a few years after NOW's founding in 1966, when women's groups were protesting stereotypes that kept them out of management and government. Meir was an apt subject because her rise to lead a country had already made her a global example of what women could do, and the poster uses that fame to answer the question in one bold image.
