Women's Building

A renowned and beloved Mission landmark since 1979, the nation's first women-owned-and-operated community center has housed 150 women's organizations – but it's recognized around the world for its awe-inspiring wraparound murals. Painted in 1994 by 100+ SF women muralists, Maestrapeace murals depict feminist icons from around the world, including Nobel Prize–winner Rigoberta Menchú, poet Audre Lorde, artist Georgia O'Keeffe and former US Surgeon General Dr Joycelyn Elders.
