working class hero
The people who put those posters up were some of the very few people who attended the pickets in support of Joanne in Belfast. Of course they believe in the work of all anonimous individuals who fight for the working class: they are part of them!
There were a lot more photos up and down the Falls Road. It'd be great if someone had taken pictures of the other women featured on posters, including women from Chiapas, Colombia, Vietnam, along with India's Bandit Queen, and Elaine Brown of the Black Panther Party. There might have been even more than that, I just can't remember right now.

I din't mean to slag off either the people who put the effort in to mark international women's day in this way, nor the women portrayed and the struggles they were a part of. What I was reacting to was the impression I got from the images that the meaning of struggle was being narrowed to only mean armed struggle. As the author pointed out in her response to my comment, it is in fact much wider.
Who was it who put these images up, by the way? I've been wondering for a while about this.
