Big hair and big hats of the era meant big hatpins, and their weaponized use sparked controversy. There were \"good\" uses of hatpins, such as fending off an attacker in the street. There were also \"bad\" uses, such as when a woman being arrested tried to stab a police officer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But seriously: All those protruding pins seemed to threaten people everywhere in the public sphere. It did not sit well with the patriarchy, who responded with hysterical crusades and often ludicrous legislation aimed at curbing the hatpin and disarming American women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerry Segrave\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476662150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476662152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Kerry Segrave","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634500694271,"sku":"9781476662152","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2346a14-9e0c-485c-9809-354e387b3b9a.jpg?v=1703589654","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hatpin-menace-kerry-segrave-9781476662152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
