President Gerald R. Ford’s Executive Order 11832 on January 9, 1975, established the Commission to Observe International Women's Year (IWY). Members collected a variety of materials relating to observances of the IWY in 1975 such as this poster, which was issued by the Canadian Minister Responsible for the Status of Women. The commission’s goal was to "focus attention on the need to encourage appropriate and relevant cooperative activity in the field of women’s rights and responsibilities"
