# Dones antifeixistes... La dona a la reraguarda... US espera... (Catalan poster, Comissariat de Propaganda)

Poster with a red frame and a photomontage of women sewing at machines and tables in front of a hospital ward of iron beds, with nurses attending patients and hanging laundry above, under the headline 'Dones antifeixistes' and the line 'La dona a la reraguarda us espera' with an address and the Generalitat propaganda credit. The tell: women's rear-guard work is shown as orderly, caring labour and the call is addressed to them as a duty ('the woman in the rear is waiting for you'), so recruitment into war work is cast as ordinary domestic care.
