A behind-the-scenes look at how merchandise is sorted through at Shareen Vintage.

We found this piece of writing on a hidden wall in the Historic Women’s Building where we shoot our photography and keep our offices next door to the Shareen Vintage Los Angeles store.

We all stood in a circle as Shareen read it aloud

and were awed and amazed by the beauty of this message and how much it still applies to women today.

We wanted to share it with you all:

We have such an organization as has never

before existed of women for women.

Women’s thought and sympathy have

traveled to us along the slender,

imperishable line of the thought railway.

Our building is like the terminal station of

a vast city, where the iron rails come

together from the north, south, east, and

west. The freight that our railway has

brought is very precious. The Exposition

will thus benefit women, not alone by

means of the material objects brought

together, but there will be a more lasting

and permanent result through the

interchange of thought and sympathy

among women of all countries, now for the

first time working together with a common

purpose and an established means of

communication.

on the occasion of the opening of the

Woman’s Building.

May 1, 1893
