Title
A name given to the resource
Buttons and Ribbons
Description
An account of the resource
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.
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.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1915, Iowa suffragists lobbied throughout the state to garner support for a June 5, 1916 referendum that would amend the state constitution and grant women the right to vote. The referendum was defeated by 10,341 votes.
The Women's Christian Temperance Union conducted an investigation after the election and found that thousands of unregistered votes were cast in what appears to be a fraudulent election.
