                  <text>The Lewis collection includes approximately 60 buttons, pins, and badges issued in the United States or in England. Buttons were a popular way to demonstrate support or opposition for the woman’s suffrage movement, raise money, and spark conversation about the campaign. Supporters wore their buttons to proclaim popular and recognizable slogans like “Votes for Women” or “Suffrage First.” Buttons and badges displayed the names of organizations and the official colors, including gold and black, yellow and blue, purple, white and green, or some other variation to highlight a particular campaign. &#13;
&#13;
The collection also includes several anti-suffrage buttons issued by groups such as the Massachusetts Association Opposed to the Further Extension of Suffrage to Women, and a small group of satirical buttons created by the American Tobacco Company.</text>

The National Junior Suffrage Corps was created in 1914 by Caroline Ruutz-Rees, the principal of a girls' school in Greenwich, Connecticut, to interest young women in the cause. Ruutz-Rees was also the third Vice President of the American Woman Suffrage Association. The group's motto was "Youth Today, Tomorrow Power." &#13;
