Some of the famous women who were members included Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman, Louisa May Alcott, and Susan B. Anthony.
Each state had its own chapter which sent representatives to the National Convention. Both ribbons are from the Michigan Delegation.
The ribbon from 1925 is when Port Huron, MI, hosted the National Convention. It has a small amount of red bleeding from the American flag. There’s a small vertical tear at the top of the ribbon along with some minor discoloration. But it’s in decent shape for being a 100 years old.
The second ribbon is from 1928, when the Michigan Delegation attended the National Convention in Denver. It’s slightly larger than the one from 1925 and although it has some light discoloration, it’s in pretty good shape for its age.
In addition to the two convention silks, I am including a small four page pamphlet put out by the Woman’s Relief Corps on The American Creed. The pamphlet is in nice condition. It was found along with the silks, so I’m assuming it’s from the same time period.
