Description
Poster, "Fempress"
The poster is yellow and shows three Chilean women sitting together on the ground. Beneath reads "una red latinoamericana de comunicacion alternativa de la mujer" (a Latin American network of alternative communication for women - translation from Google Translate). In the top right (facing) of the poster reads "inventermos una palabra que no sea opresiva una palabra que no discrimine una palabra que libere" (Let's invent a word that is not oppressive, a word that does not discriminate, a word that liberates).
Fempress was a Latin American Media Network started by two Chilean women exiled to Mexico in 1981. The network published a monthly magazine, operated a press service for women's issues, and provided a radio press service covering Latin America.
