Ca. 1910 Women's Suffrage American Woman's League Founder's Chapter Lapel Badge

Circa 1910 Women's Suffrage American Woman's League founder's chapter lapel badge. The American Woman's League was founded in 1908 by Edward Gardner Lewis to promote feminist causes. In addition to a large focus on the women's suffrage movement, the League also was intended to assist Lewis in the sale and distribution of his women's magazine. The oval badge features a seated woman who appears to have her arms around children, as to protect them and has a book in her lap. The outer edge reads: "AMERICAN WOMAN'S LEAGUE FOUNDER'S CHAPTER" and the reverse reads: "THE GREENDUCK CO. CHICAGO".
