March is Women's History Month!
San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue
Newscopy on the back: More than 30 women were learning the art of cutting, weighing, wrapping and selling meats today as San Francisco's first butcherettes began training to take the places of a thousand butchers who have gone into the armed forces. Here Eugene Mulligan shows the trainees how to carve lamb. Officials of Butchers Union, Local 115, said more women would be called to training later. The training course is being given in Mr. Mulligan's New Bay City Market, 1985 Mission Street, across from Labor Temple. September 25, 1942
Box PxS 58; Folder Women in Industry
Here is a potential guide that Mr. Mulligan might have flipped through as part of his preparation for training these lady butchers.
**Seventy years later, the Mission District connection has not faded. Now future butcherettes could take this potential class at Bi-Rite's 18 Reasons!
