A striking original poster publicizing the first abortion rights march on Washington DC part of a series of events on 20 November 1971 which constituted the largest protests for women's rights since the suffrage campaign over 50 years before. The poster which depicts a silhouetted female figure with a clenched first looking upwards to the female gender symbol reiterates the main aims - "Repeal anti abortion laws" "Against forced sterilization and restrictive contraception laws" - and gives the location of and ticket price for buses leaving New York City for Washington. Small type beneath states "Men Welcome To March". WONAAC was founded on 19 July 1971 at a national conference held at Columbia University attended by over 1000 women from 23 states. The organization's 16 September newsletter details arrangements for the aforementioned march including a motion proposing "that the march route duplicate that of the Suffragists" and an order form which gave prices for the event posters stickers buttons and leaflets all using the slogan "Abortion - A Woman's Right to Choose". Approximately 2000 demonstrators marched on the US Capitol to seek the repeal of all anti-abortion laws; similar rallies took place in New York City and San Francisco. Speakers included the lawyer Barbara Roberts and Linda Jenness the Socialist Workers' Party candidate for president. Music was provided by the Women's Liberation Rock Band from Connecticut. Two years later the landmark Roe v. Wade decision was made. A button with the same slogan and approximate date is held at the University of Kansas and the Schlesinger Library's collection of feminist ephemera also includes WONAAC material.
