Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History Enamel Pin

Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History became a rebellion slogan almost by accident, which makes the pink enamel version even better.

Historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich wrote 'well-behaved women seldom make history' in a 1976 scholarly article about ordinary Puritan women whose lives rarely entered historical records. The line later escaped academia, was often changed from 'seldom' to 'rarely', and became a feminist rallying cry Ulrich herself never originally intended as an instruction to misbehave.

This pink enamel pin uses bold black WELL BEHAVED WOMEN RARELY MAKE HISTORY wording, embracing the popular altered version of the quote rather than pretending it is Ulrich's exact original sentence.

For historians, feminists, teachers and women who enjoy how completely one academic sentence escaped its original context, the backstory makes the pin better, not less defiant.
