Post 1913 Women's suffrage pin from the Women's Political Union. Earlier versions had fewer stars, which represented states/territories that had legalized women voting. This version has ten because of Alaska in 1913. #alaskahistory #alaska
@ANC_Historian My great-grandmother, whose father helped found Valdez, was a part of the Alaska Suffrage Movement. If I am remembering correctly, it was advanced through the Temperance Movement.The funny part about that is my great-grandma was a bartender.
The law passed by what was the territorial gov in 1913 the was only for white women, indigenous were not considered citizens...
