Chapéus que deixaram de ser moda.
In the late 1800's having a stuffed bird on your hat was fashionable for ladies of high society. Birds such as Arctic terns, egrets, and owls decorated hats.
Harriet Hemenway was offended by this practice and worked with her cousin Minna Hall to found the first Audubon Society that actually had an impact on protecting birds and wildlife.
Harriet enlisted the help of her husband Augustus to work in the legislature because at the time women could not yet vote. Laws were passed to prevent killing and using birds for decoration. Some of these laws are still in effect today.
