Details:
• 3-COLORED SUFFRAGE SASH 4 inch by 72 inch satin sash. Based on research of hundreds of photos, we have created for you a historically accurate sash that combines 18 stars and the text VOTES FOR WOMEN in black. The stars were added to sashes at the point that half the required states (18) had ratified the amendment. At that time, the words VOTES FOR WOMEN and 18 stars were added to many buttons, flags, and sashes. Sashes, ribbons and badges were worn by millions of women who marched, organized, lectured and protested to secure the right for women to vote.
• 3-COLORED SUFFRAGE ROSETTE 3 inches across and an additional 5 inch streamers. Our ribbon rosette has a small white button in the middle with the words VOTES FOR WOMEN in an 1900s font. The pleated satin ribbon is in the American suffrage colors—purple, white, gold—with matching ribbon streamers. Wear it on your collar or dress front on the left side and Be a Suffragist.
• The 3 colors -- Gold, Purple, White are the colors of the American Suffrage movement.
• Gold VOTES FOR WOMEN Button based on actual buttons used in the early 1900s. 1.25 inches.
AMERICAN SUFFRAGE COLORS, A NOTE:
The purple is for loyalty, white is for purity and virtue, and gold is for the sunflowers of Kansas where Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton campaigned for votes for women, hoping to get the state legislature to pass a suffrage bill. (The British suffrage colors are purple, white, and green.)
These 3 suffragist accessories celebrate the strength, courage, and perseverance of all the women who fought for and won this right to vote as well as those today who work to keep this right alive.
