While historians have long recognized the importance of memorabilia to the Woman Suffrage movement, the subject has not been explored apart from a few restricted, albeit excellent, studies. Part of the problem is that such objects are scattered about in various collections and museums and can be difficult to access. Another is that most scholars do not have ready knowledge 1of the general nature and history of the type of objects (postcards, badges, sashes, toys, ceramics, sheet music, etc.) that suffragists produced. Then-new techniques in both printing and manufacturing created numerous possibilities for supporters to develop campaigns of "visual rhetoric." This work analyzes 70 different categories of suffrage memorabilia, while providing numerous images of relevant objects along the way and discussing these innovative production methods. Most important, this study looks at period accounts, often fascinating, of how, why when, and where the memorabilia were used in both America and England.

      Florey (English, emeritus, Southern Connecticut State Univ.; http: //womansuffragememorabilia.com) argues that women's suffrage memorabilia offered a way for sympathizers to "ingest the movement...to have it become a part of them in a tangible way that was not otherwise possible through campaign literature and speeches alone." And there was plenty of it--the author details some 70 categories, from dish cloths to umbrellas, as well as items related to the American and British branches of the movement and for and against the cause. VERDICT An impressive scholarly synthesis for women's history and collectibles collections.
