EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - March On Capitol, 1916," captures a pivotal moment in American history. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image documents the historic Woman Suffrage Procession that took place on March 3, 1916, in Washington D.C. Thousands of women, dressed in white and carrying banners and sashes, marched towards the Capitol Building to demand their right to vote. The photograph shows a group of determined women, standing proudly and unwavering, as they face the Capitol Building. A policeman stands watchfully nearby, adding a sense of tension to the scene. The women, dressed in their best, hold their heads high, their expressions resolute. Some carry banners that read "Votes for Women" and "We Demand an Amendment," while others wave sashes in the air. The Capitol Building looms in the background, symbolizing the seat of power and the ultimate goal of their campaign. This photograph is a testament to the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for their right to vote. It is a powerful reminder of the progress that has been made in women's rights, and the ongoing struggle for equality that continues to this day. The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress, is a valuable resource for historians and scholars, providing a visual record of American history and culture.
