African suffrage used the colors purple and white.
"A Feminist Dictionary" (click here) was published by Illinois University Press in 1996.
In the USA the color was gold or yellow.
"Colors were important (click here) in the iconography of the suffrage movement. The use of the color gold began with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony's campaign in Kansas in 1867 and derived from the color of the sunflower, the Kansas state symbol. Suffragists used gold pins, ribbons, sashes, and yellow roses to symbolize their cause. In 1876, during the U.S. Centennial, women wore yellow ribbons and sang the song "The Yellow Ribbon." In 1916, suffragists staged "The Golden Lane" and the national Democratic convention; to reach the convention hall, all delegates had to walk through a line of women stretching several blocks long, dressed in white with gold sashes, carrying yellow umbrellas, and accompanied by hundreds of yards of draped gold bunting....
I think feminism needs to be revitalized in the USA and the color of the ribbon should be gold.
The yellow ribbon was tied around trees for POWs returning home. That is the origin of the song. It was sung for a returning Union POW when the Civil War ended.
I don't know of any other cause assigned the color gold and USA feminism has a history to claim that color. Hillary should define the feminist movement rather than allowing it to define her. Hillary Clinton's political campaign should consider distributing feminist ribbons at rallies.
