read my pins

Smithsonian Castle | June 18 to October 17, 2010
Exhibition of pins owned by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and worn during her tenure, sometimes to convey political messages. Although the castle is stuffy, I enjoyed seeing all of the pins and then reading about the circumstances that make each one significant. Bottom right corner, above, was worn as retaliation for being called a 'serpent.'

This one represents the shattered glass ceiling as a result of her appointment.
