The Women's Graphics Collective was organized in Chicago in 1970 to create posters for the growing women's liberation movement. They initially used silkscreen to create large brilliantly colored prints in large quantities on a low budget. Later the group used offset printing for the more popular posters. Thousands of posters were sold all over the world. The founders of the Women's Graphics Collective wanted their new feminist art to be a collective process in order to set it apart from the male-dominated Western art culture. Each poster was created by a committee of 2 to 4 women led by the artist/designer. The Women's Graphics Collective dissolved in 1983.
