What happened in that area of political discourse in images that is the political poster when even women, after the war, became a political subject and therefore a possible protagonist of an ideological statement? How did the parties , even those of the left that are among the first to support the rights of the newborn sex to the management of public affairs? Browsing through the 120 color reproductions of posters affixed on the walls of houses in our country since 1945, one will have the critical pleasure of establishing interpretive paths, parameters of analysis, pulling many threads, between active and passive poses, between adulatory and unconsciously offensive posters, reviewing women trinkets and passionates , virtuous and pin-ups, asexuals and mothers in a faithful mirror of the evolution of a custom and, above all, in an unusual portrait of the female condition i Italy.
