Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History Necklace or Keychain — Feminist Gift Graduation Gift Strong Women Gift
"Well-behaved women seldom make history."
— Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
A historian wrote this in 1976 in an academic paper. She had no idea it would end up on bumper stickers, t-shirts, and now — a glass dome pendant worn by women who have absolutely no intention of behaving.
It has lasted because it is true. The women who changed things — who led, who pushed back, who refused to sit down or be quiet or wait their turn — were rarely described as well-behaved at the time. History has a way of catching up.
This piece was made for the woman who is making her own history right now. She might not know it yet. But she will.

A LITTLE ABOUT GEORGIA TEABERRY:
Hi, I'm Georgia! I'm a one-woman shop creating from my idyllic mountain home studio, designing and handcrafting every piece myself. I've been doing this for over 20 years, and my work has been featured in US News & World Report. With over 13,000 happy customers and a decade as an Etsy Star Seller, I take real joy in making meaningful gifts that matter.
I've been a quote collector and voracious reader since I was a little girl. To me, quotes are tiny treasures — just a handful of words that can hold an entire feeling, belief, or memory. That's what I love about creating these pieces. They become wearable reminders of the things we never want to forget.
