Item Description

Suffrage Sash, hand made copy of the National Women's Party standard and branding Sash, which they wore every where!
 
It is clear that the purple, white, and gold were afforded a place of prominence and power in the NWP.  One of the earliest designations for the colors appeared in Vol. 1, No. 4 of  The Suffragist,  published on Dec. 6, 1913. Under the statement of purpose for the fledgling Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, it was noted that “the colors adopted by the Union are purple, white, and gold, selected for the significance they bear in the work the Union has undertaken. Purple is the color of loyalty, constancy to purpose, unswerving steadfastness to a cause. White, the emblem of purity, symbolizes the quality of our purpose; and gold, the color of light and life, is as the torch that guides our purpose, pure and unswerving. Our cluster of ribbons has meaning and significance. It is the standard for justice to the race, for democracy that is real and whole, not hesitant and partial.” 
 
Wear this on every Women's equality day and be the standard bearer for our right to vote!
