The etching by Minna Citron features a figure in profile, facing upwards with closed eyes and an expression of contentment or contemplation, enveloped by curling lines suggestive of clouds or smoke. The person grasps a wide-brimmed hat with one hand, which partially obscures their curly hair. The intricate details of the etching emphasize the texture of the hair, the folds of the clothing, and the nuanced expression on the person's face. The background is filled with soft, swirling lines

"This print epitomizes [a] woman's position in the 1930s. She had all the responsibility of raising children and none of the say about their education. . .or anything else. Sort of a 'womens lib' print before the phrase was invented..." (Citron)
