Posters charting the feminist fight – in pictures

At art school during the 1970s, Pru Stevenson, Julia Franco and Suzy Mackie weren’t taught about female artists, and left with the impression they were unlikely to succeed. This autumn, their achievements as founders of the silk-screen print-making collective See Red Women’s Workshop will be shown at Tate Britain’s exhibition Women in Revolt!, celebrating feminist art from 1970-1990. See Red ran for 16 years and 45 artists joined and created prints highlighting domestic abuse, racism, gender roles and politics. ‘Our posters still speak to different generations, because the struggle for women’s equality is far from won,’ the trio say. ‘But when women get together, we are powerful!’Women in Revolt! is at Tate Britain, 8 November-7 April
