A Print with Power, Purpose and Pout

Originally created in 1917, Christy’s lithograph is a masterclass in persuasion, draped in sailor blues. A spirited young woman, all windswept hair and confident poise, dons a naval uniform with effortless flair. She gazes out at us, challenging and charming, alongside bold typography that reads: “Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man / I’d Join the Navy.”

It’s a bold blend of patriotic messaging and fashion illustration, wrapped in irresistible Americana aesthetics. But reimagined as wall art in 2025? It’s retro-feminist, cheeky and strikingly current.
