Three pin holes along top edge, and another along right edge. Small chips to bottom corners and a 2cm chip along left edge, not impacting text. Lightly toned. Better than Very Good. Given our research, this poster was likely created by a University of Illinois - Chicago (UIC) student and faculty group called the Circle Women?s L…iberation Union. While working with the Chicago Women?s Liberation Union, the group organized a two-day conference with lectures, workshops, films, and speakers on topics such as child care, consumerism and housewife syndrome, sexual exploitation, and working women and capitalism. The organization would go on to create the Women?s Studies Program at UIC among many other programs, including opening a Children?s Center for low-cost childcare on campus in 1972. A visually interesting ephemeral piece of the second-wave feminist movement.

Very good. Backed on linen, poster style. Size 27 x 19.5 Inches. This is a c. 1917 National Printing and Engraving Company Greek broadside that is most likely associated with recruiting during World War I. Roughly translated as 'Enlist/Register so that it cannot be said that they offered their lives in vain'. Written in Katharev…ousa (???????????), a conservative form of Modern Greek conceived of as a compromise between Ancient Greek and Demotic Greek, due to the broadside's message, printing style, and the era in which the printer was active, we believe this broadside to date from World War I. Greek-Americans and Military Service While researching this item, our research made us aware of the long history the Greek-Americans have with the United States military. Greek immigrants have served in every war fought by the United States, from the American Revolution to today's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Several thousand Greek-Americans served in the Allied Expeditionary Force sent to Europe during World War I, including George Dilboy, who was killed in action near Belleau, France on July 18, 1918 and was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for 'gallantry and intrepidity beyond the call of duty'. During our research, however, we became aware of the fact that Greek-Americans not only fought in the wars of their adopted nation, but those of their native homeland as well. Greek immigrants and Greek-Americans returned to Greece to fight in the Greek-Turkish War of 1897 and the Balkan War of 1912-1913. Due to the ambiguous nature of the text, and the formal nature of the language, this leaves open the possibility that this broadside could, in fact, have been printed to encourage Greeks to return to their homeland and fight against the Turks in defense of Greece's freedom. Several thousand returned to Greece to fight in these wars, particularly from large urban areas, such as Chicago. This broadside was printed by the National Printing and Engraving Company of New York, Chicago, and St. Louis in the early 20th century, most likely during 1917 or 1918 in support of the American war effort during World War I.
