A Woman Suffrage Party Pin, 1909.
The Woman Suffrage Party of Greater New York (WSP) was founded by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt in 1907. The WSP was modeled on the Democrat and Republican parties in the hope that by organizing, as they did in New York assembly and election districts, the WSP could better influence voters to pass woman suffrage.
Pennants like this were distributed at the WSP inaugural convention on 29 October 1909, at Carnegie Hall, in New York City, and members and supporters waved it alike. This pennant is framed with ZFC3123, a WSP felt pennant from the same era.
