## Resource

In the late 1800s, women began wearing a seemingly ordinary accessory that made men furious, nervous, and sometimes even afraid to stand too close. What looked like fashion was also a tiny weapon, and as women claimed more freedom in public, the hatpin became a symbol of that shift, elegant on the surface, but sharp enough to stab back when men thought they could crowd, grab, or control them.
