EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage Banner, 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 group of both men and women standing outside, holding a large suffrage banner aloft. The banner, adorned with the words "Votes for Women," is displayed proudly against a fence, with several smaller flags attached. The entrance to a building, possibly a congressional library or government building, can be seen in the background, adding to the political significance of the scene. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by intense activism and protesting in the suffrage movement. The two prominent figures in the foreground, identified as Martha Ewing Kuntze and George William Harris, were likely key figures in the local suffrage movement. Their determined expressions and strong posture convey the passion and resolve of the suffragettes, who would not give up their fight for the right to vote until it was finally granted with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. The "Woman Suffrage Banner, 1917" is a powerful reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who braved public scrutiny and adversity to secure their place in American democracy. This iconic image, preserved in the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, continues to inspire and educate future generations about the importance of women's rights and the power of collective action.
