30 x 20, "
Women of Britain Say 'Go!'" is a well-known British propaganda poster from World War I. Created by artist E. J. Kealey in 1915, the poster was published by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee as part of a campaign to encourage men to enlist in the army.
The poster depicts two women and a young boy looking out a window at soldiers marching away in the distance. The message of the poster was an appeal to Britain's female population to encourage men to join the army, while also portraying women and children as vulnerable and in need of protection. The poster's sentiment was not universally accepted at the time, and its use of gender, guilt, and the threat of emasculation to persuade men to enlist has been noted by historians.
This poster is considered one of the most iconic images of the Great War and is frequently cited in discussions of World War I propaganda |
