Poster Depicting "$acred Motherhood," 1908
|
"$acred Motherhood" was created in 1908 by
Chicago Daily News
cartoonist Luther Bradley for exhibition at a joint conference of the Women's Trade Union League and the Chicago Federation of Labor. Simultaneously calling for a shorter work day for woman and implicating working conditions in the garment manufacturing industry, the poster portrays a haggard and overworked mother attempting to combine domestic and factory duties with dismal and chaotic results.
