The masked woman is mysterious. She looks at the viewer determinedly. Her ethnicity is undetermined. The viewer can project his identity onto the figure. The use of the word 'Mujer', 'woman' in Spanish, and the mask is a nod to the Zapatista movement in southern Mexico, an armed anti-globalization group that rose up against the Mexican government to demand indigenous rights and democracy to claim. The eyes remind Fairey of Emma Peel, played by Diana Rigg, the heroine of the 1960s television program The Avengers. The work is a celebration of femininity, as bold and assertive women were portrayed in 1960s spy films. As the father of two daughters and married to a woman of strong character, Fairey tackled sexism by creating images of powerful, defiant women. His portraits of women are partly a projection of his daughters, a reflection of his wife and an attack on historical portraits of women who often appear naked, powerless and submissive.
