P.M.I Ta’ Maoe Ketinggalan

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1947 during the Dutch colonial war portrays a female Indonesian Red Cross member, symbolizing the fighting spirit of women actively participating in the war effort through the Red Cross. The text, "Ta’ Maoe Ketinggalan," meaning “We refuse to be left behind,” underscores the determination of women to stand united and make contributions in times of struggle. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)", containing reduced reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947, addressing Indonesian and global issues.
