This piece of art was made in 1995 and it shows 4 women who look like they are working, they all have something covering their faces except one. Then there is an image of Dolores Huerta holding up a Huelga sign in the background, it has an effect that makes it seems that it is trying to blend it in to the sky. On the bottom of the art there is the phrase "woman's work is never done" this homage to Dolores Huerta not only brings attention to the part Huerta played, but most importantly the role of women as a whole.
I think it is a great way for Lopez to portray the role of woman through artwork. This piece has two meanings because of the part that Dolores Huerta plays in this and also the four other woman who are unknown which can be used to represent the rest of the Chicana population working for their own sake.
