EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Helen Todd, a prominent American activist and leader in the women's suffrage movement, in 1913. The photograph was taken by renowned German-American photographer Arnold Genthe at his studio. Helen Todd, born Helen MacGregor Todd, is depicted in a serious and determined pose, her piercing gaze fixed on the camera lens. The image was captured during a pivotal moment in American history, as women's rights activists were making significant strides towards securing the right to vote. Helen Todd was an influential figure in the suffrage movement, serving as the president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association's California branch. She was a tireless advocate for women's rights and worked to raise awareness and mobilize support for the cause. Her unwavering commitment to the cause is evident in this powerful portrait. The photograph is a glass negative, a common technique used during the early 20th century. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The portrait is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the important role that Todd and other suffragists played in shaping the political landscape of the United States. This image serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the women who fought for their right to vote and the impact they had on the country's history.
