We visit a Greenwich Village tearoom in the mid-1920’s which hung a small sign on its door reading: “men are admitted but not welcome”. This episode, we go back to this unique lesbian space in the summer of 1926 when two women met in the tearoom; the woman who created it and the woman who destroyed it.
