One cream colored poster with magenta print. Image depicts a rectangular border with "A woman's / place is in / the house..." on the top with an oval framed image of the silhouette of a woman. Beneath the image is the text "...and also in the senate!" [This text offers a feminist twist on a derogatory cultural expression, making the term "house" mean both a family residence and the U.S. House of Representative. The visual device of illustrating the art as needlepoint - a traditional women's form - enhances the witticism. This text offers an excellent example of a paraprosdokian, a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. -LMC]
