Women’s Suffrage Memorabilia: An Illustrated Historical Study
Contents:
I thought the movement colors were purple and yellow but I found out that the National Women's Party of Alice Paul used those exclusively. In the article on cookbooks he made the point that suffragists were considered less feminine and that producing cookbooks showed that they did not have to abandon their traditional roles in order to vote. I realize that the American movement was tied to the British movement in the 20th century and that many ideas came across the pond.

However I wished for more on the American memorabilia because that it what I can see and collect. I did not read this book cover to cover because of the encyclopedic nature of the articles, but I did view all the illustrations which were numerous and helped enrich the articles.
This is not a price guide, so not every button or ribbon was shown nor discussed. This is a history of the movement in physical detail and hopefully we can still discover other memorabilia and include them at a later point.

As with other political movements, the suffrage movement coincided and exploited advances in technology. Florey's study attempts to bridge the gaps in the historical research, because, he asserts, "Another problem is that most scholars do not have ready knowledge of the general nature and history of the type of objects postcards, badges, advertising cards, valentines, etc.
As a former museum curator, I can speak from experience, since I worked at a historical society that was a long commute from any university with a sizable history department.

This made research and exhibit design challenging, being unarmed against the forces of nostalgia and corporate dominance. Unlike a work of popular history, Women's Suffrage Memorabilia is not a chronologically linear history. Florey arranges the book in alphabetical order, covering a range of seventy different categories. As such, the book is best suited for specialists, academics, and museum professionals.
That isn't to say it is without popular uses. Those interested in the women's suffrage movement and those interested in steampunk will get an education. Although the women's suffrage movement was anything but a straightforward progressive path from political impotence to winning the right to vote. To borrow the cliche, it was closer to "two steps forward, one step back. Prior to , several states granted the women the right to vote in state elections. These states included "Wyoming in Utah and Washington women, however, temporarily lost their right to vote through actions of Congress and the Supreme Court, not obtaining it until and , respectively.
It should also be noted that Utah, as an epicenter for the Mormons, continues to be against marriage equality.

Florey notes earlier that "Unlike those of other states, however, the Constitution of New Jersey, adopted in , did not specifically prohibit women from voting, and they did so sporadically throughout the state, until they lost all suffrage rights in through the actions of the legislature. Japanese-Americans, many being American citizens born on American soil, had their citizenship revoked via an Presidential Executive Order. An Executive Order affirmed in an vote by the Supreme Court.
And one need only to scan the headlines to see the forces of the Christian Right, operating in full Gay Panic mode, desperately flailing away in state legislatures, attempting to pass anti-gay legislation. While history has been kind to the suffrage movement, Florey also examines its demographic nature and how that influenced the products it exploited for its political ends. The movement was overwhelmingly white and bourgeois. I'm using that term, since the term "middle-class" can best be understood as a post-Second World War socioeconomic phenomenon associated with increased college attendance and easier social mobility.
Both of which didn't exist during the period Florey investigates. The suffrage movement also had major overlap with the temperance movement, thus causing the inevitable anti-suffrage backlash. Brewers and distillers feared that women getting the vote would mean Prohibition. They weren't entirely wrong. If a drunken Irishman, a black man, and a lunatic can vote, why can't a woman? In terms of suffrage movement members, the First Wave Feminists had very little in-roads with either working class groups or civil rights groups.
The opposite case would occur in the Sixties and Seventies with the rise of the Women's Lib, itself riding on the momentum of the Civil Rights movement. Anti-suffrage propaganda is also profiled. The long lens of history allows one to see these pieces as woefully wrongheaded and pigheadedly sexist.

But at the time this was a common attitude. It doesn't justify the behavior, but it helps to understand it. The suffrage movement exploited the fact that the anti-suffrage movement chose blue and black as its colors. Not the best choice when the opposition is making the anti-suffragist out to be apologists for domestic violence.
