This exhibit features an early 20th century “Votes for Women” tea set, generously donated by Ventfort Hall Gilded Age Mansions & Museum, that once belonged to Alva Belmont. This tea set was used as a practical and decorative tool for the 1909 Suffrage Rally and 1914 Conference of Great Women (hosted by Alva herself) at Marble House and her Chinese tea house in Newport, RI.
