EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Suffrage, 1917" is a powerful photograph capturing a pivotal moment in American history, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing. The image depicts a group of determined suffragettes, both men and women, picketing outside the gates of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C. The year was 1917, and the fight for women's right to vote was reaching a fever pitch. The photograph shows a sea of banners and flags, each bearing slogans and messages supporting women's suffrage. At the forefront of the scene, a woman, identified as Martha Kuntze Newcombe, stands tall and resolute, holding a large banner aloft. She is flanked by other suffragettes, all dressed in white, their faces determined and focused. On the other side of the gate, a lone guard stands watch, seemingly unsure of how to react to the growing movement. The photograph was taken during a time when the suffrage movement was gaining momentum, and the country was on the brink of change. The suffragettes, led by figures such as Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, were employing increasingly bold tactics to bring attention to their cause. The picketing outside the Capitol was just one of many protests and demonstrations that would take place over the coming months and years. The "Woman Suffrage, 1917" photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes, and the pivotal role they played in securing women's right to vote. It is a testament to the power of peaceful protest and the enduring spirit of those who fought for a more just and equal society. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress, and is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or women's rights memorabilia. It is a powerful and evocative image that continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
