Suffragette Costume

28 Oct 2009 1 1754
Recycling the accessories from my Halloween costume last year, for "historical figures" day at school today. Turned out, her teacher also dressed as a suffragette! We spent our walk to school talking about the suffrage movement, and how there are still places where women can't vote yet. Teachable moments. Sign and sash are homemade. Sash is three lengths of ribbon assembled with lots of masking tape as backing, and iron-on letters.
