The front entrance to the Women's Building and part of the mural as it would appear to someone walking up 18th Street in San Francisco.

The mural covered the entire front and side of a four story building. Mature trees out front masked the lower part of the mural.

The lower part of the mural resembled a curtain of many patterns draped across the building. Figures were revealed between the folds. One was a young girl peeking at a mother feeding a child.

Above the curtains was a huge face gazing east across the face of the building.

The center top of the building depicted a woman who captured the sun and bore within her womb the child of the future.

A big hand was drawn on the top of the lower half of the building. That hand appeared to be holding and spreading the fabric of the curtain.

Another huge face was drawn on the left hand end of the upper half of the building. This face gazed west across the face of the building.

Just above the sidewalk, and just above a parked car, a person was drawn gathering together the curtain fabric and peeking out through a gap.

The upper half of the Lapidge Street side of the building.

The lower half of the Lapidge Street side of the building illustrated a woman holding a child while she drew a design on a roll of paper.

The lower half of the side of the building revealed a drawing of four women, one of which held a sign that read:

Silencio=Muerte

A woman afoot and a woman in a wheel chair danced together in a field filled with wildflowers.

A door on the side of the building was decorated with wonderful orchid-like flowers, accented by an animal's skull with elaborately curved antlers.

The credits were low in a corner of the front of the building. Here the artists were credited along with a "© 1994."

A hug goddess held up two women in her hands. One was an Aztec woman of the land, the other hand held a modern woman or a woman of the sea.

A closer view of a paper held in a woman's hand. It was a quotation:

And when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed, but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive.
Andre Lorde

Two panels depicted two stages of corn (maize). One the left the plant just beginning to grow, on the right the plant ripe and being harvested.
