EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Banners, 1917," captures a group of determined and passionate women standing outside, holding banners and engaging in a peaceful protest for women's suffrage. The scene takes place in the United States during the 1910s, an era of significant social and political change. The women, led by Alice Paul and Alice Stokes Paul, are dressed in simple yet bold clothing, reflecting their commitment to the cause. They are seen looking directly at the camera with focused expressions, conveying a sense of resolve and unwavering belief in their right to vote. The background of the image reveals the imposing facade of a penitentiary, symbolizing the harsh reality of the time when women who dared to challenge the status quo were often labeled as criminals and even imprisoned for their activism. The banners held by the women bear slogans such as "Votes for Women," "Suffrage and Freedom," and "No Taxation Without Representation." This poignant image serves as a reminder of the courageous efforts of these early feminist activists who fought tirelessly for women's suffrage and paved the way for future generations to enjoy the fundamental right to vote. Taken by renowned photographer Harris & Ewing, this photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The collection is a valuable historical resource, offering insights into the social, political, and cultural conditions of the time. The image is a testament to the power of peaceful protest and the enduring impact of grassroots activism in shaping the course of history.
