Three women pose in NPS uniforms. Two wear pantsuits and one a dress. The uniforms have arrowhead patches instead of ranger badges.

Women Wearing the 1974 Uniform with Arrowhead Patch


Women began protesting the NPS arrowhead patch in 1973. The next year a "women's traditional uniform" with the badge was added for public contact. The new dress uniform retained the arrowhead patch.
