An exhibit of Soviet-era propoganda posters from the collections of Duke University Libraries and the Nasher Museum of Art will be on display in the Nasher Museum's Education Corridor March 15 - May 15, 2011.
The exhibit (Machine, Mother, Mannequin: The Good Woman in Soviet Propaganda) illustrates government-prescribed images of Soviet women from the 1917 Revolution to the 1960s.

Funds for restoring the posters were provided by the Trent Memorial Foundation.
