EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determined spirit of Sallie W. Hovey, a prominent American suffragist and Chair of the New Hampshire National Woman's Party during the 1910s. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. Sallie Hovey, also known as Sarah Whittier Hovey, is shown in the portrait wearing a serious expression, her piercing gaze fixed on the camera lens. Her attire, consisting of a high-collared blouse and a long, flowing skirt, is typical of the era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the activism of the early 20th century, a time when women's rights and suffrage were hotly debated issues in the United States. Hovey's involvement in the National Woman's Party was instrumental in the fight for women's suffrage, which was finally achieved with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. The photograph is a glass negative, and its monochromatic tones add to the sense of historical significance. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focused on American history, activism, and the women's movement. The unknown photographer's skillful composition and lighting bring Hovey's character and passion to life, making this photograph a powerful reminder of the important role she played in shaping the future of women's rights in the United States.
