Summary

This poster created by Redletter Press promotes a tribune fair held at North Melbourne Town Hall in 1985. Several symbols in the poster reflect the key political sentiments of the time, including feminist ideologies and peace activism. The woman depicted in the foreground wears a hard hat bearing the text 'work at home hat' and behind her hangs an 'equal pay for equal work' poster. She is also wearing a 'no bombs' badge.
