Turned into a feminst icon beyond its original point, the famous war propanganda poster “We can do it!” has been mimicked quite a number of times. Stripped of the costume and color elements, it is turned into a strive to fit into the very exact pose. A quiet reflection, perhaps, of the less glamorous complexity of feminist struggles and their representation.
