A recycled .308 bullet casing is etched with the wonderful quote "Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History"!

This quote is attributed to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a historian of early America and the history of women, Pulitzer prize winner, and a university professor at Harvard University.

Show your admiration for all those misbehavin' women throughout the last century who worked so hard to bring us closer to equality: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Charlotte Woodward, Alice Paul, Emily Pankhurst, Carrie Chapman Catt and especially the mother of the 25 year old Tennessee state legislator, Harry Burn, who had previously voted with the anti-suffrage forces and who changed his vote at the last minute at the urging of his mother, breaking the stalemate on ratification. On August 26, 1920, women were finally granted the right to vote.

Here's the letter Mrs. Burn wrote to her son:
"Dear Son: Hurrah, and vote for suffrage! Don't keep them in doubt. I noticed some of the speeches against. They were bitter. I have been watching to see how you stood, but have not noticed anything yet. Don't forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the 'rat' in ratification. Your Mother."

Bullet and projectile measure 2-7/8" in length. Standard necklace length is a 24" silver plated chain. Need a longer or shorter length or a keychain? You choose!

Each bullet casing is tumbled for several hours to restore a new-like shine then etched, a patina is applied to enhance the details and then the casing is tumbled again, ensuring that no gunpowder residue remains.
