The passage marked the largest expansion of democracy in the history of our country and the founding of the League of Women Voters. Purple, white and gold were the colors of some American suffragists’ sashes: purple for loyalty, constancy to purpose and unswerving steadfastness to a cause; white, the emblem of purity; and gold, the color of light and life, a guide for purpose, pure and unswerving.
