It's a damned good point, that's for sure. Women are more 'equal', but are as 'free' as slaves used to be.
Then and now.

Oleg, stop writing when you should be taking pictures!
Scrap 85% of this concept and salvage the visual imagery. STOP making posters with more than 5 words. You are an excellent photographer and when you use images to convey your ideas you excel. The moment you start typing your product loses impact.
I like the juxtoposition of modern times and those of a century ago in regards to firearms rights but only "gunnies" will understand what you are getting at. You don't need to reach the gunnies. Change concepts. Shoot the circa 1907 lady looking pretty but stern and brandishing a period firearm with the copy "1907" above the image. Frame another shot of the same woman in modern clothes with modern hair but clutching a cell phone or Blackberry or some damned thing and looking scared and helpless. Post the copy "2007" above this image. Frame the images side-by-side with the word "PROGRESS" superimposed across the two images. Perhaps "PROGRESS?" with a question mark is better. Pay attention to expression and posture. Confidence vs. Cowardice. Self-Reliance vs. Submission.

Excellent point. I used to think through my posters longer, so had more terse captions...

Oh! and maybe on BOTH
pictures have a menacing shadow of a thug cast somewhere. In both photos, the woman faces a deadly threat but in one, she is prepared to fight back. In the other, she is preparing to die calling 911 or MSNBC or whomever she has on speed-dial.
PROGRESS?

There's a real good idea... stand up and fight and probably survive vs. die in fear and submission.
Oh, and "progress?"... I stepped in some progress out in the horse corral this mornin'; it washes off.

The wife really liked it. Said it made a good point. Can't say it did much for me.
