Some Buttons
Some Buttons Women (and Their Nemesis) Wore is a curated collection of buttons and pins from the Women’s Suffrage movement, spanning 1910 to 1920 in England and the United States.
This project highlights the parallels between the historical significance of buttons and graphic design. Ephemera, meant to eternalise moments, are often overlooked despite their impact. Graphic design helps preserve these fleeting pieces, ensuring their contributions are remembered.
By celebrating these relics, this project underscores the lasting importance of ephemera in shaping societal discourse and advocating for social change.
