Back in the day Miss Goldie Griffin fights to obtain the same employment rights as men. Today, women on Yelp post how great a mayor Newsom is because he's "hot." Miss Goldie Griffin, hope you're not too dizzy from spinning in your f**king grave.

Goldie was included in an art show that's up at FIFTY24SF right now. Jeremy Fish did a series of character/historical studies from the Barbary Coast era. His style is great, and the content is really fun and informative.

Great and fun article; thanks! May I be a stuffed shirt, though, and point out that women in pre-Revolutionary New Jersey could vote. We had to give that up for Independence.
