This is an amazing find and I was totally aggressive making sure I got it. This totally ORIGINAL Suffragette Banner was owned and perhaps created by, Dakota Wesleyan Student 1909-1912, Jessie Agnes (Turner) Aaron. The fact this has survived is remarkable, but having the provenance as well is FABULOUS! Framing it in Suffragette colors, a dark purple frame with a sage green mat.
I love the letter of provenance! So interesting…and sad that the female college student had to drop out so her brother could enroll.
This is a very nice find....indeed.

Amazing Suffragette piece— don’t see much of it available!
THANKS for sharing!

Guess you didn't see my note last week. Do you have a stickpin, "Vietnam, Love it or leave it". If not, I'll send this to you.
blunderbuss2 - no. sorry i didn't. Been preoccupied trying to put together our 50th high School reunion... need to pay attention!
Watchsearcher - isn't that a tragedy. She a women's rights advocate, had to leave college so her brother could go. The history of the piece to me - and this goes for a lot of my pieces - just adds so much to my joy of owning them.
Do you want this pin for your collection ? May take awhile to get it sent to you without you having to go to Customs/Duane to pick it up. Not a simple matter to mail anything from here.
blunderbuss2 - 4 months later I see your message. Not sure what pin you are talking about. Sorry I missed this one.
Clk on my profile and there it is. Still have it if you want it. Had a friend who went up to Conn yesterday who could have mailed it. Not easy to send things from here to the States.
blunderbuss2 - no, I do not have it. Would love to add it to my collection.
My email address is on my profile. Send your address and I will find somebody going to the States to mail it.
