Dissent Pin - Grace Hopper, Computer Scientist
Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, pioneering computer scientist and educator, is celebrated in our new hard enamel pin, the second in our Women in Science series.
As one of the first computer programmers, Hopper used binary code to program the Mark I computer. But she had a vision for a better way: She created the first computer language that used words to tell computers what to do.
Hopper also dedicated her life to educating people about how computers work. She always carried “nanosecond wires” with her to use in her lectures. These 11.8” (30cm) wires represented the maximum distance a signal can travel in 1 billionth of a second. This pin is a wearable version of her nanosecond wires: The white line on the pin is 11.8” long.
(To fit a light-nanosecond into a small space, we made it into a pattern called a “labyrinth.”)
This 24k gold-plated pin comes with a fold-out card with Hopper's story.

Dissent Pin - When There Are 9
People have questions, RBG has answers:
“When I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough women on the Supreme Court and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that.”
Ever since I first heard this RBG quote I've wanted to wear it, so I created the "When there are 9" Pin for myself. (You can get one, too!)
This hard enamel pin is 1 1/8" wide and comes with dual posts to keep it in place.
50% of profits from the sales of this pin are split between three organizations:
- The Bronx Freedom Fund
- International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP)
- Center for Reproductive Rights
