Historic “Votes for Women” Bluebird Pin - Massachusetts Suffrage Campaign, 1915 #3821422 (License: Personal Use)

This die-cut metal pin depicts a stylized bluebird with a yellow tail bearing the slogan “Votes for Women Nov. 2,” referencing the November 2, 1915, referendum in Massachusetts. The bird’s body is blue with black wing accents and white beak; the tail includes the full name of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association and key organizers like Gertrude B. Leonard and Teresa A. Crowley. Produced as wearable propaganda, it combined charm and urgency to mobilize voters ahead of the pivotal (though ultimately unsuccessful) state-level suffrage vote.
