These are two feminist posters inspired by the “We Can Do It” campaign. The masculine attributes and stance of the model, much like “Rosie the riveter”, adopts a more powerful role for women and suggests equality to men.
The background for this piece is Adika and Dike Greek goddess’ of injustice and justice. It is both subtle and powerful; it’s violence (Dike beating Adika) evokes strong emotions and is a reminder of injustice towards women. The hot orange of the face makes the model appear threatening.
Notice the kitchen sink in the background of this piece, implying the abandonment of domesticity.
