Женщина! Учись грамоте!  [Woman! Learn to read and write!]

Soviet propaganda poster promoting womens' literacy in the 1920s. Image depicts a school-aged girl berating her mother for her inability to read and help the child with her schoolwork. Text on the bottom of the poster translated from Russian to English reads “Oh, Mom! If only you were literate, you could help me". Mother is dressed in traditional housework clothing with a vertical striped apron and polka-dotted head covering, allowing her to clean and cook. Child is sitting at kitchen table with a Samovar, cups, books, quills, and ink. Woman is standing to the right of a broom and barrel of water, with a brick over and vase in the background. The mother and child are facing each other, giving the audience a side profile. Figures are filled in against kitchen interior. Floors and walls are wood with about half of a window shown in the top right corner. The author's signature and date can be found below the girl's figure and above the text in the bottom left corner of the image.

Poster is commenting on increased literacy for young women, showing social progress and pro-feminist sentiments increasing. At this time and the start of the USSR, it has become more acceptable for young women to start education. Laws were becoming more progressive, like the USSR legalizing abortion. But, socially, the expectation of housework being the women's role persisted. This poster challenges that status quo and aims to push further feminist ideology to reach not only the younger populations, but equality amongst all women. The generational gap continues to emphasize the social progress starting, but not dispersing throughout the culture. The mother's inability to assist her daughter exemplifies many women feeling helpless and confined to her duties, unable to grow her skillset.
