"This mural adorns the wall of the New Century Guild, which advocates for women’s rights and the advancement of women in the workplace.Women at work are pictured throughout the mural, including Guild founder Eliza Turner, the (top) and Eleanor Roosevelt with a child sitting in her lap (upper left).

“Every day people” in the mural represent professions or pathways in life that result from ideals promoted by the New Century Guild, notes MAP tour coordinator Marisa Starr.

“The masks some women are holding represent the questions women face from society, such as ‘What is lady-like?’ ‘What do good mothers and wives do?’ and ‘What do women really want?’” says Amy R. Johnston, MAP community outreach liaison."
