The background of this flyer is The Hearst Women's Gymnasium.

Built in1927, the Hearst Women's Gymnasium was to replace the first women's gymnasium, Hearst Hall, built 1900 and destroyed by fire in 1922. Both places provided women a place of their own distinct from the male dominated space which characterized the campus until the 1970s.
