THROW-BACK THURSDAY: OLD WIVES TALES BOOKSTORE, 1978


Throw-Back Thursday:  Maggie Jochild and Sandy Seagift standing in the front room of the first Old Wives Tales bookstore in San Francisco, viewed through the wall cut-out from the back (Wimmin Only) room of the bookstore.  This was when the store was on Valencia near 16th, before it moved to Valencia near 22nd – a move I spent all day helping make happen.  The back room had sofas and chairs to sit on plus this extraordinary wall of flyers and messages, how we communicated before the internet.  Photograph taken around 1978 by Mary Austin, her copyright.


I miss you, Sandy.
