Make History Feminist Enamel Pin

"Well-behaved women rarely make history" - Pulitzer Prize-winning American Historian, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, 1978. Laurel's iconic quote meant that "well-behaved" women should make history, yet that's not how things usually work out. It does not endorse criminal behavior to make a stand, but simply that women who aren't rebellious in nature seem to get overlooked or run over and it shouldn't be this way. In her book, Well-behaved Women, she explains this further citing the accomplishments of Rosa Parks, Virginia Woolf, and Harriet Tubman, among other extraordinary women.  Make a statement with this iconic quote to remind yourself that sometimes you have to go against the grain to make a difference; while reminding others that our society doesn't have to make this necessary from women to be heard or to make a difference, if we're just treated as equals, like we deserve, in the first place.  Made with high-polished black-plated zinc alloy, a hypoallergenic metal, so it is safe for even sensitive skin. This is ideal especially if you'd like to wear your pin on your shirt that might consistently touch the skin directly.
