EDITORS COMMENTS
President Woodrow Wilson Delivers Address to Joint Session of Congress, 1910-1920: A Pivotal Moment in American History This historic photograph, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts President Woodrow Wilson delivering a speech to a Joint Session of the United States Congress between 1910 and 1920. The image is a testament to the political landscape of the time, as well as a symbol of the changing social dynamics in America. The scene is set in the hallowed halls of the United States Capitol Building, where the old boys network of politics was in full swing. Yet, the photograph also reflects a new era of progress and equality. Women, represented by Jeannette Rankin, the first woman to be elected to Congress in 1916, were now permitted to watch from the public gallery. The Nineteenth Amendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote, was ratified just two years later in 1920. The photograph captures the intensity of the moment, with Wilson delivering his speech to a sea of attentive legislators, both male and female. The old boy network may have dominated the political scene, but the image also symbolizes the metaphorical breaking of the glass ceiling, as women began to make their mark in the political arena. The photograph is a glass negative from the Harris Ewing Collection, and is a valuable piece of American history. It not only captures a moment in time, but also serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made, and the challenges that still lie ahead in the pursuit of equal rights for all.
