México por la Libertad: Mujer Mexicana, ¡La Patria te Solicita!
A woman holding a child in one arm and a Mexican flag in the other looks ahead; the text asks Mexican women to serve the fatherland working in industry, in the fields and at home. The tell is the pairing of 'Libertad' and 'Patria' with the flag (glittering generalities, transfer) as the basis for the call to work.
