Scope and Contents
The Women's March on Washington protest signs and ephemera collection is a sampling of the messages displayed at the protest. A particularly iconic feature of the protests are the knitted pink "pussy hats" which refer to a recorded 2005 coversation with Trump who described grabbing women by their genitals. The corners of the hats resembled cat ears, playing on the word "pussy" also referring to cats.
