As soon as I am done with green hats (St Patty's Day parade Sunday) then my Etsy store will have women's suffrage pussyhats. >^..^<

(112,435 posts)Two major color themes were used throughout American suffrage imagery:
The indigenous American tradition using gold or yellow coupled with a variety of subordinate colors.
The imported use of the British suffrage colors - purple, white, and green, and its American variant purple, white, and gold.

(68,352 posts)Kids! I was excited when Iron Angels came out...but shocked at how hard it was for women...I had no idea. I guess I though women politely asked to vote and the men said sure...ladies...have it. After that I read everything and looked at the pictures...very interesting. There is so much they don't teach you in history.
