Object Details

In this 1970s re-election poster, Pat Schroeder hearkened back to her famous first campaign slogan: “She Wins. We Win.” The design also contains oblique references to her stance as a passionate feminist and political outsider. Prominent placement of the term “Congresswoman,” in an era when some established women in the House called themselves “Congressman,” emphasized that Schroeder was not interested in blending in. Similarly, the three casual photographs of the candidate, placed collage-style on a blank background, nodded to counterculture graphic design popular in alternative media in the 1970s.
