Description
Elaine Mitchell and another woman are walking along side posters encouraging people to join the YWCA in Eastridge Mall. They are carrying signs to be added to the posters which read "Join [th]e Y.W.C.A. and "Young Women [illegible] to Action." The posters were designed to promote the YWCA's multiculturalism and woman's rights.
"A poster display at Eastridge mall in 1970 promoted the YWCA's commitment to multiculturalism and woman's rights." From Fran Smith, "Breaking Ground: The Daring Women of the YWCA in the Santa Clara Valley, 1905-2005, " (2005), p.94.
