DescriptionPoster with an illustration of a faceless woman dressed in traditional African textiles, carrying a child in a sling on her back, and holding a rifle in one hand and a book in the other. The adjacent text reads: "The mountain-moving day is coming./ I say so, yet others doubt./ Only a while the mountain sleeps./ In the past/ All mountains moved in fire,/ Yet you may not believe it./ Oh man, this alone believe,/ All sleeping women/ Now will awake and move. - Yosano Akiko"
