Female worker, fight for a clean kitchen 1931

Created in 1931 by Soviet artist Maria Feliksovna Bri-Bein, this poster was published by the state art publisher OGIZ-IZOGIZ in Moscow. It features a strong female worker standing in a large industrial kitchen, tasting soup from a metal ladle while other women prepare food in the background. The scene promotes cleanliness, hygiene, and collective responsibility within communal dining halls. The bold slogan urges women workers to “strive for a clean kitchen and healthy food,” reflecting the drive for better public health during the First Five-Year Plan. The poster combines socialist ideals with modern design, celebrating women’s growing role in building a healthy and efficient Soviet society.
