- Parade for Women's Suffrage and Equal Education, New Haven, Connecticut, circa 1915 - In the 1910s, many Americans joined the already decades-long fight for women's suffrage, or equal voting rights. To rally support, suffragists staged parades. These often elaborate processions championed numerous individual causes. This float in New Haven, Connecticut, related "equal education for boys and girls" to "equal citizenship" in the future. A constitutional amendment granting women suffrage was finally ratified in 1920.

- Women's Slippers, 1815-1830 - Ladies in early-nineteenth-century America wore delicate slippers with their stylish dresses. While fashionable, these types of shoes were notoriously unhealthy: they quickly became damp and soiled, provided no foot support, and were occasionally purchased a size or two too small so that the wearer's foot appeared dainty. These slippers were all about looking great -- not being comfortable.
