The San Francisco Chronicle's front-page cover featuring the Golden State Valkyries has become an instant icon, with photographer Clara Mokri describing it as a full-circle moment in her career.
At the team's victory parade, fan Ben Bell carried a poster of the Chronicle's cover, which displayed Mokri's photograph. The image captured the excitement surrounding the WNBA franchise's championship celebration.
Mokri, a photographer for the Chronicle, said the cover's resonance highlighted the growing cultural impact of women's professional basketball in the Bay Area.
