HERALD/ANGEL AS SYMBOL CONTINUED
Winged Herald figure, blowing a trumpet and carrying a banner. Notice the use of stars on this button. Suffragists used stars on pennants, banners and American flags to denote the number of states that had passed state referenda enfranchising women. The blue background of this button is unusual.
Suffrage Heralds, blowing trumpets and carrying banners with stars. Produced by Harriot Stanton Blatch's Women's Political Union, the buttons use the colors purple, white, and green, and the figures are backed by a rising sun with radiating rays. The buttons were produced in different years because the number of stars in the banners are different.

An angelic figure produced for the state suffrage referendum in Ohio. The angel's halo is produced by a radiant sunburst behind her.
