Well Behaved Women, Rarely Make History Hair Clips
Academic historian, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, first wrote this now famous quote as part of an article she wrote for the journal, "American Quarterly", in 1976.In the article she discusses how important women who were "well behaved", were lost to history, seen as unimportant to those who decided what counts. An ongoing issue today is that it is difficult to understand the lives of women from the past, or to read about important things women have done, due to lack of scholarship on women's history. Today this quote has taken on many meanings, often being used as a mantra to break the norms of society.
These hair clips are dedicated to the lost women in our history.
Wear them together or on opposite sides of your head, under a bun at the back of your head, clipped onto a handbag strap, or anywhere else you can come up with.

Please note: Due to their handmade nature, all clips will be slightly different.
