It’s suffragette white, not Hillary Clinton white. History did not start in 2016. https://twitter.com/joycewhitevance/status/1325248832637198336">https://twitter.com/joycewhit...
Just thinking how prescient it was that Shirley Chisholm and Geraldine Ferraro wore “Hillary Clinton white” in 1969 and 1984. Definitely no other historical reasons for women candidates to wear that color, no way... c’mon, learn some history folks
The historical reasons why the women’s suffrage (voting rights) movement wore white:
- It symbolized the idea of purity
- It was a color many women already owned in their wardrobe, making it easy to “join the cause”
- It visually stood out in B&W photos https://www.crfashionbook.com/fashion/a26261899/the-history-of-women-wearing-suffragette-white/">https://www.crfashionbook.com/fashion/a...
