Read the excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects. This suffragette coin stands for all those who fought for the right to vote. Recent objects have been about nineteenth-century mass production and mass consumption - this one is about the rise of mass political engagement. To add emphasis to the idea that this object is different than other recent objects discussed, an audio version of this text could have a pause after "This suffragette." after "Recent objects." before "mass consumption." before "this one is about."
