US elections: Why women are wearing white to voteLUCAS JACKSON Hillary Clinton wore white when she appeared with her biggest celebrity fan and supporter Katy Perry during a campaign event in Philadelphia on Saturday. Female voters in the United States are being urged to wear white when heading out to cast their vote in the presidential election. The campaign appears to have grown organically without any official support from the Clinton campaign. "They're donning white blouses, pulling white pantsuits from closets or shopping for new ones, dressing babies in white onesies," the Boston Globe reported. The colour white references the long fight women waged to gain the right to vote, an official colour of their movement, often worn by suffragists in protests in the early 1900s."
