content: Pink wool knitted cap with cat ears - a pink Pussy Hat - Knitted by the donor for use at the Women's March, January 2017. The donor was taught to knit by her mother, and made this hat for her husband to wear to the march, and one for herself. Intergenerational knitting, and needlework as an expression of opinions related to political and social causes, has a long history, not just in the US. The collections hold many such objects.
