Segrave, a cultural historian and author from Canada, surveys the controversy in the US from the late 1880s to about 1920 over the hatpin. As it grew to accommodate larger hats, it was therefore seen as a weapon. He describes how hats and hair grew in size; hatpin fashion and the new advertising industry that created more elaborate hatpins; how women used them as offensive weapons against police officers, other women, or in crimes; the use of hatpins as defensive weapons; their use by women in groups against others, such as harassers, scabs, and the police; accidental uses in deaths; how foreign nations dealt with the problem; and the hysteria, legislation, and legislative attempts made by the patriarchy to deal with the hatpin and the new type of independent, aggressive women.
