Ever heard of a woman-run, eco-conscious brand crafting fabulous, vintage-inspired feminist goodies? Yes, please! Smart Women, launched by the amazing Lucy Thompson in 1999, continues to be her brainchild. Initially a stay-at-home mom creating gifts for friends, Lucy’s delightful creations quickly took off, leading her to sell them in specialty shops everywhere. Before long, Smart Women became a beloved brand among clever, witty women all around.
Smart Women’s offerings aren’t just adorable; they’re also practical and made from reusable (often recyclable) materials. You’ll find charming slogans like “Smart Women Crave Good Company” and “Smart Women Thirst for Knowledge” etched on everything from mugs to drinking glasses, guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
But Smart Women is about more than just cute feminist merchandise. It’s a movement encouraging women to make a tangible impact in the world, especially in politics. As their website puts it, “We want women to know that our actions matter.” Whether you’re running errands, managing an office, or even running for office, Smart Women are out there making a difference every day.
And they’re not shy about getting involved in elections! Back in 2004, they collaborated with The League of Women Voters for the “Smart Women 2004 Elect to Make a Difference Tour.” Now, as the 2016 elections roll around, they’ve released a new line of products that’ll have you feeling empowered and ready to ensure every woman is registered to vote. (And hey, let’s not forget to check on the guys too!)
So, let’s rally the troops! Make sure your neighbor, her mom, and your great aunt who just moved to Florida are all set to cast their votes. Don’t forget to encourage the college crowd; their votes matter now more than ever!
