I've
been collecting buttons since 1964 when my local pusher enticed me with
freebies until I was hooked. My passion has waxed and waned with time,
so I now have somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 different buttons --
a paltry number to the serious collector, who usually loses count at
20,000. And I have never quite reached the fervor of some devotees,
who have given up a whole room of their house to store their buttons,
and who have also given up all their spare time and change to collect
them. Like most collectors, however, once I reached the moment of truth
-- the realization that I couldn't collect every button ever printed
-- I had to become a specialist. Since I am a feminist, it was natural
that my ambition would be to have the world's largest feminist button
collection.
