eagles dont do hats!

I'm sure they only had them to keep their husbands awake in church, at concerts, etc... I often saw them used to wake up a dozing spouse!

You may find this interesting:
Emma Miller was a working class campaigner for better wages and conditions. She helped set up the Female Workers' Union in Brisbane in 1890.

She used a hatpin to great effect (unhorsing the Police Commissioner) during a skirmish with police in 1912, at the tender age of 73.

Pictured are various hatpins, with a Parker pen as a size reference.
