She wore this to political rallies before women could vote.
And she lived long enough to cast a ballot.
This patriotic apron belonged to four-year-old Fannie Bell Holliday, who attended Lincoln-era campaign events in Illinois in 1858. She couldn’t vote, but she was there, watching history unfold. Decades later, she would see women win the right to vote and take seats in Congress and statehouses.
A small apron. A lifetime of change.
See it in our new book and exhibit!
