Photo Collage 1965 "May Day"
Dublin Core
Title
Photo Collage 1965 "May Day"
Description
These are several images of the 1965 May Day celebration. In the top left image, a woman can be seen dancing around a maypole. Dancing around the maypole was based on the ancient belief that it would bring fertility to the crops as well as the women. This May Day ritual at the University, whether conscious or unconscious, is symbolic of the sexist attitudes that places centrality on reproduction in the women's lives.
