The image depicts a group of determined women gathered in the Marble Room of the Senate, engaging in political discussions and advocating for their causes. The scene is rich with details that reflect the late 19th-century American society. The room itself exudes grandeur with its marble interior and ornate furnishings. Men wearing goatees, beards, and hats can be seen conversing with these women lobbyists, showcasing an interesting dynamic between genders within politics at that time. The attire worn by both men and women further emphasizes the period's fashion trends.
