HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY (1873-1952) GEE!! I WISH I WERE A MAN. 1918. 41x27 inches, 104 1/4x68 1/2 cm. Condition A-: minor tears and creases in margins. Paper. One of two posters by Christy featuring this particular woman. The other, with a tan background, pushes for service in the Naval Reserve or Coast Guard. This one has a narrower focus, seeking recruits for just the Navy, with a more blatant challenge to the public's masculinity: "Be a Man and Do It!"
