Medal, "Woman's Liberty Bell," 1915

In the early 20th century, women and men alike joined the already decades-long fight for women's suffrage, or equal voting rights. To rally support, suffragists often appealed to patriotic sentiments. This medal identifies their cause with two ideals - "justice" and "equality" - symbolized by the Liberty Bell. A constitutional amendment granting women suffrage was finally ratified in 1920.
