"Domestic workers: come to the conference to be held on the 3rd in the theatre hall of the People's House". The figure of the woman was one of the main motifs on civil war posters, depicted as a militiawoman, worker or mother. The campaigns to recruit women were aimed at their action in the rearguard, occupying the posts that the men had left behind when they went to the war front. Thus, we see them in factories, workshops and schools, emphasising the new status of equality with men that the Republic had been defending since its establishment in 1931.
