Looking past the gender in art issue, the approach is really interesting - they note in the article that early on members of the collective went to a protest and noted how ineffectual it seemed, and so they leaned into a style much closer to modern advertising. Take a look at the imagery and iconography of their work in the articles in the picture - there’s really a packaged look. I don’t know how impactful they were (although getting a write up 40 years later suggests they made a mark on someone, at least), but in an era where it sure doesn’t feel like protesting’s gotten any more effective, it’s an interesting read.
