Additional Details

This campaign poster bears a quotation from her 1970 autobiography, "Unbought and Unbossed:" "It is not female egotism to say that the future of mankind may very well be for women to determine. . . . The strength of Christ, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King was a strength of gentleness, understanding, compassion . . . a female strength." Martin Luther King's portrait appears behind her. None traced at auction or in OCLC.
