The phrase on this poster, "Don't call me girl!", is its entire message, and it speaks to a point the early women's movement pressed hard in the 1970s: that grown women were routinely addressed as "girls" by employers, colleagues, and strangers, a habit that signaled they were not taken seriously as adults. Slogans like this circulated widely on posters, buttons, and flyers during the decade, when feminist groups used everyday language to challenge workplace and social norms. The print is an American example from that period, and it was later given to the Library of Congress by Gary Yanker, a collector whose gifts documented the graphic culture of social movements.
