EDITORS COMMENTS
U.S. Capitol - Visitors, Etc. Woman Suffrage, 1914," captures a pivotal moment in American history as suffragists gathered outside the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. to demand their right to vote. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a sea of determined women, each holding banners and sashes emblazoned with the words "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage." The women's faces are etched with a mix of resolve and exhaustion, reflecting the years of hard work and perseverance that had led them to this point. The Capitol building looms in the background, a symbol of the political power they were fighting to access. The photograph was taken during the early 1910s, a time when the women's suffrage movement was gaining momentum across the United States. The image is a powerful reminder of the human rights struggle for women's suffrage and the courageous activism of the suffragists who fought for the right to vote." This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 100,000 glass negatives created by the Harris & Ewing photographic studio between 1896 and 1945. The studio was founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1896 and later joined by Martha Ewing Newcombe in 1908. The studio was known for its high-quality work and documented many significant events in American history. The photograph is a testament to the power of peaceful protest and the importance of standing up for one's rights. It is a valuable historical document that continues to inspire and educate people about the suffrage movement and the ongoing fight for gender equality. The image is a powerful reminder of the progress that has been made, but also a call to action to continue the fight for human rights and social justice.
