Around these parts we call it HERstory--the SFPL term used to describe Women's History Month. This week the Magazines and Newspapers Center hosted two in-person programs inviting patrons to come together to read women's magazines spanning 150 years.
Pssst... the magazine spread included Playgirl, which was no small fact. Instagram audiences went wild for the big reveal, and the San Francisco Standard, a local news website, sent their culture reporters to paw through the volumes.

We hope you can join us on Friday, March 15 for the final installment of the women's magazines and feminism program, but if you can't, see below for the title list, access options, and a short bibliography.
There's also a pop-up exhibit of Playgirl magazines by the 5th floor elevators. Check it out before the end of March when it will be de-installed.
