Flier on yellow paper of the Durham to Seneca Women's Peace Walk-Women's Peace Camp. The name of the walk is written along the edges of the inside of the circular part of a women's symbol, the most prominent image on the page, along with a line featuring multiple dots with names of cities up the eastern coast of the US, indicating the route of the walk. The page describes the walk from Durham, NC to Romulus, NY, the site of the Seneca Women's Peace encampment outside of Seneca Army Depot. The opposite page features a list of actions that people can take from home: "Write Congresspeople"; "discuss the issues" and a cartoon image of a woman kicking a missile.
