Sisterhood of the Traveling Pin

Join Mellon Humanities Post-Doctoral Fellow Dr. Caitlyn Jones as she digs into the long history of Belmont-Paul's jail door pin. Originally given to suffragists who were imprisoned for picketing the White House, the pin in our collection passed through the hands of some of the century's most important artists, legal scholars, and government workers as they took the fight for gender equality from 1920 into the present. This sisterhood created by the pin-wearers represents a long line of mentorship, friendship, and activism that turned the struggle for suffrage into a modern-day movement for social, political, and economic equality for all
