Peasant women were also rarely depicted in socialist propaganda art in the period before 1920. The typical image of a peasant was a bearded, sandal-shoed man in shoddy clothes and a scythe, until 1920, when artists began to create peasant women, who usually were buxom, full bodied, and a scarf tied around her head. But the image of peasant women wasn’t always positive; they often would evoke the derogatory caricature “baba,” which was used against peasant women and women in general.
