"Stone Walls do not a Prison make" Equal Rights Amendment broadside, 1975
Scope and Contents
A broadside with the text, "Stone Walls do not a Prison make, Nor iron Bars a Jail; But 'til the E.R.A. is Won, We're only Out On Bail. Support the Equal Rights Amendment for American Womanhood!" The illustration is a reproduction of an engraving titled "Female Convicts at Work during the Silent Hour in Brixton Prison," which was first published in 1862 in The Criminal Prisons of London and Scenes of Prison Life by Henry Mayhew and John Binny. The text is a stanza adapted from the conclusion of the Richard Lovelace poem "To Althea, from Prison."
