Information ribbon with golden bear and "Votes for Women" pin attached
Description
In the years following the passage of the 1911 state suffrage amendment, supporters continued to advocate for the federal enfranchisement of women across the country. Suffragists created and distributed ephemera to publicize their cause and gain support for the movement, including literature, pennants, posters, shopping bags, playing cards, postcards, and pin-back buttons, such as this ribbon with a “Votes for Women” pin from 1912.
