Visual Description: A promotional poster for the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) pictures two main subjects, block printed in a dark blue and outlined in cream: Atlas, a Titan in Greek mythology, and a muscular woman, appearing to wear loose drapery, or a chiton. Titan appears to be struggling to bear the world on his back and shoulders and the woman is assisting Atlas to carry the weight. The poster additionally features a deep orange background with text that promotes the seventh annual conference for the International Congress. The main Hungarian headlines on the bottom of the poster directly translate to “International Congress for Woman Suffrage, Budapest, June 15-20, 1913.”
