EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage, 1917," captures a powerful moment in American history as a determined group of women and young boys proudly march in support of women's suffrage. The scene unfolds on a sunlit street, with the women dressed in their finest clothing, donning sashes and carrying banners that read "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage and Freedom." The boys, dressed in short pants and boaters, join their mothers and sisters in the cause, each holding a small flag. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was a popular choice for documenting political events. This image, in particular, offers a poignant glimpse into the suffrage movement, which had been gaining momentum for several decades. The year 1917 marked a significant turning point in the fight for women's suffrage, as the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the National American Congress of Labor organized the Silent Sentinels, a peaceful protest that continued until 1918. The movement finally succeeded in 1920 when the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote. This photograph is an essential piece of American heritage, showcasing the courage and determination of the suffragettes and their supporters, as well as the active role of children in the political process. The image is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring legacy of the women's suffrage movement.
