Description
Double-sided placard, printed ink on paper, sellotaped to cardboard.
The face-side reads "Honour the Derry Factory Girls" over a flag of purple, white and green - the colours of the Women's Social and Political Union. The reverse reads "All Women Rise Up" above two clasped hands. To the side of the writing are two doves of peace.
The placard was created to protest for the creation of a statue recognising the women who worked in factories in Derry, Northern Ireland.
