Abstract

This paper explores the visual portrayal of Jewish women in Soviet Yiddish propaganda posters, focusing on their roles as cultural symbols and ideological messengers during a transformative period in Jewish and Soviet history. Through an interdisciplinary approach that combines art history, gender studies, and Jewish cultural studies, the research examines how visual culture contributed to shaping and disseminating narratives about Jewish identity, femininity, and modernity under Soviet rule
