5. that is british. american suffrage colours are generally white, purple and gold.

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.

4. Twitter once again went low and put a new meaning to the women wearing white

I sent an abuse alert on it. Hopefully it will disappear.

7. Yes I word white to the Womans march except for my pink Pussy hat...

I found an old pin at my parents house in CT...I think it probably belonged to Alice Paul because she lived in that house for years...I wore that too.

11. We used to try to contact her with the Ouija board...we had no luck sadly.

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.

Prohibition and Woman's suffrage went hand in glove.
