The image displays a poster with a pink background and a combination of text and tabular information. At the top of the poster, bold text reads "SORRY SWEETIE. YOU WON'T GET A JOB BECAUSE MOST ART DEPARTMENTS DON'T HIRE WOMEN." Below this headline is a two-column table with the header "ART DEPARTMENT" on the left, followed by two sub-headers: "% FACULTY WHO ARE FEMALE" and "% OF HIGHER-RANKING FACULTY WHO ARE FEMALE." A list of various universities is presented with corresponding percentages; the list includes institutions such as the University of South Carolina, which shows 0% for both columns, Utah State with 10% female faculty and 0% higher-ranking female faculty, and the University of Pennsylvania with 40% of the faculty as female and 50% of higher-ranking faculty as female. The bottom of the poster includes a statement that points out an inconsistency related to gender representation: "Many of these schools are interviewing for faculty positions this year at the CAA conference. All but 2 have a majority of female students." This suggests that despite having a majority of female students, these institutions have disproportionately low female faculty representation. On the right side of the poster, there's an iconic black-and-white image of a woman with a gorilla mask looking sideways. This image is a symbol commonly associated with the Guerrilla Girls, a group of anonymous artists who advocate for gender and racial equity in the art world. Finally, the bottom right corner contains a message identifying the source of the poster as "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD" along with an address in New York, NY. The statistical source cited is "The CAA Directory of MFA Programs in the Visual Arts."
