Suffragist Ornament

  • Handmade
  • 6 1/2 inches
  • Our suffragist wears a red white and blue sash over her dark blue dress and a red plume in her blue hat. A wonderful addition to a patriotic collection, this handmade ornament reminds us of the activists who helped shape our nation’s rich history.

  • In 1915, American women were pushing for equal rights, particularly the right to vote in national elections. They lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Finally, Congress passed on June 4, 1919, and ratified on August 18, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment, which guarantees all American women the right to vote. The Nineteenth Amendment Joint Resolution of Congress and many other records related to women’s equal rights are preserved and protected in the National Archives.

I won this ornament attending a suffrage history program with the Chevy Chase Maryland Historical Society along with a suffrage centennial calendar! It is a very high quality ornament that reflects the dedication and commitment of our Foremothers to win the vote over their 72 year campaign. Highly recommend as a gift or a prize for all of the women and girls who are special to you!

Beautiful ornament

I purchased this ornament for my wife and mother-in-law, and they both loved them. They look fantastic and appear to be very high quality. We look forward to hanging them on our tree for years to come.
