FMC-DOR in Cuban Revolutionary Posters

FMC-DOR represents a collaboration between two important Cuban organizations:

FMC = Federación de Mujeres Cubanas (Federation of Cuban Women)

• Founded in 1960, shortly after the Cuban Revolution
• Cuba's official women's organization dedicated to promoting women's rights and advancement
• Focused on integrating women into revolutionary society through education, employment, and political participation
• Led campaigns for women's literacy, healthcare access, and social equality

DOR = Departamento de Orientación Revolucionaria (Department of Revolutionary Orientation)

• The Cuban Communist Party's propaganda and communications department
• Responsible for creating and disseminating revolutionary messaging through posters and media
• Coordinated national campaigns and educational initiatives

Collaborative Poster Production

FMC-DOR posters resulted from joint campaigns between these organizations, combining:

• The FMC's focus on women's empowerment and education
• The DOR's expertise in propaganda production and mass communication

These collaborations typically promoted:

• Women's education and return to school campaigns
• Women's participation in the workforce and revolutionary activities
• Gender equality messaging within the revolutionary framework
• Social programs targeting women and families

The partnership allowed the women's organization to leverage the Party's propaganda infrastructure to reach Cuban women nationwide with targeted educational and mobilization campaigns, particularly during the 1970s when Cuba emphasized women's integration into all aspects of revolutionary society.
