	<blockquote>In 1968 San Franciscans saw relatively unprecedented scenes in Ghirardelli Square—breast-feeding, a lesbian family, an amphibian orgy, possibly mermaid vaginas. In trying to raise a controversy over abstraction versus representation, modern versus historical, and the sculpture’s artistic style, Halprin precipitated a public conversation about gender, sexuality, and power and their location and role in urban space, neighborhood revitalization, tourism, and the city’s future.(2)</blockquote>		<blockquote>In 1968 San Franciscans saw relatively unprecedented scenes in Ghirardelli Square—breast-feeding, a lesbian family, an amphibian orgy, possibly mermaid vaginas.

	The fact that the Mermaids sculpture became a popular cause for local l feminists underscored the role of women in the new urban redevelopment process that was underway. Graphic designer Bobbie Stauffacher and public relations specialist Marion Conrad had both been employed in key roles in Ghirardelli Square, as well as other contemporaneous projects like The Sea Ranch on the Mendocino coast. Stauffacher later wrote Conrad that “We looked like career women. We felt like road kill,”(3) as they commiserated over the gender politics that surrounded them. In spite of their obvious commercial success, they still acutely felt the limitations imposed on them by the larger dynamics of a male-dominated society.
