Riding for Suffrage - Inez Milholland Boissevain Leads the Charge
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph taken in 1913, suffragist and lawyer Inez Milholland Boissevain rides astride as one of four mounted heralds in a suffrage parade. With her horse's mane flowing behind her like a banner, she embodies the spirit of determination and perseverance that defined the women who fought for their right to vote.
Boissevain was more than just a passionate advocate - she dedicated her life to social reform, working tirelessly alongside fellow activists to improve conditions for workers, particularly children and African Americans. Her commitment extended beyond suffrage itself, encompassing broader issues of justice and equality.
This striking image captures not only Boissevain's courage but also the collective energy of the women who marched alongside her that day. Together, they demanded recognition as equal citizens with full rights to participate in shaping their country's future. Three years after this photograph was taken, Inez Milholland Boissevain would tragically pass away at just 30 years old while on a suffrage lecture tour out west.
This historic image serves as a testament not only to the women who fought for the right to vote but also to their unwavering dedication to creating a more equitable society.
