These high-quality hard enamel pins commemorate two significant dates (1918 and 1928) granting British women the same voting rights as men.
The word "Vote!" is featured across a green, white, and purple banner. The years 1918 and 1928 are displayed on the tails of the banner in recognition of the Representation of the People Acts of 1918 (granting women over the age of 30 the right to vote) and 1928 (granting women over the age of 18 the right to vote, placing them on par with men). The Green, White, and Purple colors of the banner are representative the colors of the suffragette movement in the United Kingdom, and honors the hard work and sacrifices of those women, sometimes at the expense of their own lives!
