EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history as women's rights activists gathered to demand the right to vote. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a large crowd of both men and women standing outside, with banners and flags raised high. The entrance to the building, likely a government or congressional building, is visible in the background, with a sign reading "Entrance for Women Voters" hanging above the door. The women in the photograph, dressed in various outfits, are seen picketing and holding banners that read "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." Some women are seen wearing sashes and hats adorned with the colors of the suffrage movement. The men in the photograph appear supportive, some even joining in the picket line. The photograph was taken by George William Harris and Martha Ewing, who were prominent figures in the Harris Ewing Photographic Studio in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, which was known as Harris Ewing Inc., was a leading provider of news and press photographs during the early 20th century. This image is part of the Martha Ewing Newcombe Collection at the Library of Congress. The Woman Suffrage Movement, which began in the late 19th century, gained momentum in the early 1900s. The movement culminated in the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the determination and perseverance of the suffragettes and their supporters in achieving this important milestone in American history.
