Pay Me Like a Man Feminist Art Retro Equal Pay

Equal work deserves equal pay. It really should be that simple.

This print features a determined working woman marching with one fist raised and a protest sign reading “Pay Me Like a Man.” Her rolled workwear, confident stride and hand-drawn illustration style recall historic labor posters and women workers’ campaigns, while the message speaks directly to the continuing fight for pay equality.

I like the strength and simplicity of this piece. The warm aged background gives it the character of an old union or factory poster, while the direct slogan keeps the artwork firmly connected to modern conversations about the gender pay gap and workplace equality.

A strong choice for a home office, workplace, classroom, studio, study or feminist gallery wall, especially for collectors of labor history, women’s rights art and vintage political illustration.
