The poster advertises activities organized for International Women's Day in Vancouver. Poster reads "Women Everywhere Unite. Printed by Press Gang, Design: M. J. Arbour and N. J. Pollak, Type: Nadine Schuurman." Light blue background with a circle containing image of women in sports, protesting, and carrying baskets on their heads.

Image is “an adaptation by Pat Davitt from a Chinese book on Vietnamese liberation struggles." A woman holding a gun, in red, black and white, on a red and black background.
Image of figures within a circle ringed with stars inscribed with the words “The Moon Boat: Seven female figures standing in a crescent-shaped boat suggestive of the moon. This symbolizes an inner journey of initiation through waters of the underworld ruled by the moon or moonboat goddess. Therefore it probably symbolizes a woman’s initiation.”
