Sheryl Harris with very first Ms. Magazine issue

A can’t-Ms. xmas gift!

Former BJ artist John “Derf” Backderf sure knows how to come up with an untoppable Christmas present. He gave his wife, former BJ reporter Sheryl Harris, the first issue of Ms. Magazine!

Wrote Derf:

“She was very excited. Reilly (the family dog), despite being a male, keeps her company as she reads. But then, as Sheryl was so fond of saying back in her table-pounding Feminist days back in college as a Women’s Studies minor: ‘All men are dogs.’ "

Responded Cheryl:

“I'm almost afraid to read it. It came in a little plastic sleeve. It's such a treasure. And such a surprise.”
