In the early 1900s Alice Paul was imprisoned during a protest for suffrage, and upon release the suffrage organizers gave her a jail door pin to recognize her commitment. In 1917, after a group of American suffragists picketed the White House and participants were jailed, Alice Paul created a pin similar to her own to present to the 89 suffragists who were arrested. You can wear a jail door pin just like the one worn by the suffragists as a proud symbol of women's fight for equal rights. Product Details Approx. 1 3/16'' x 11/16'' Made in USA
