A Typographical study of Feminism as it relates to the Rights of Lower Economic Status Women
Who is a trash girl? A woman living in poverty, who is taken advantage of by men and by society. She is publicly degraded as a lesser form of woman, undeserving of respect, especially when compared to “proper” ladies. The appropriate response to this is anger, listening, and awareness in the form of a collective outcry. As a designer, I can represent the plight of these so-called trash girls in a very forthright and visceral way. Inspired by the powerful and unique vernacular essay, “TRASHGiRRRRLLLZZZ: A Manifesto for Misfit ToYZ,” by Elizabeth Broeder, I designed letterforms that, when combined with idealized images of women from the 1950s, tells a story. A story about oppression and toxic femininity that occurs to all women. In this world, misogyny is king, and we must dethrone him by force.
