Rare Ca. 1915 Woman's Peace Party Member Badge

This is a rare circa 1915 member badge for the Woman's Peace Party by Hyman and Company of Chicago. The Woman's Peace Party was the first pacifist organization to use the tactic of public demonstration, and also the first to be comprised exclusively of female members. Chaired by Jane Addams, the Party took root in response to the outbreak of World War I. Members were criticized openly by the government and some even imprisoned for their views.

Circa 1915.

Approximately 5/8" in height and 1" in width.

Plated brass, enamel.

Horizontal pin with C catch.

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge shows some light to medium wear and moderate tarnish; all enamel is intact.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
