Untitled (Your Body is a Battleground)

2

This is a photo-silkscreen image made by Barbara Kruger, made in the feminist art movement from the 1960s to the 1970s. The poster pushes the ideas of feminism and how women have to fight for rights and respect for their autonomy. In this case its the right of a woman's own body, which is one of the things that a lot of artists during the feminist art movement have focused on during this time.

This art piece by Kruger really pushes that idea of women having to fight for something as simple as the right to their bodies.  The simple text in the red boxes stating that “Your body is a battleground.” It's simple, but it's very loud in the message that is trying to convey in this moment, which is that women have to fight for their reproductive rights instead of already having them.
