EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Philadelphia Group at Headquarters, 1917," captures a significant moment in American history as women's rights activists gathered in Philadelphia to push for the right to vote. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a group of determined women standing in front of the Congressional Union for Women Suffrage headquarters, located on the facade of a grand building. The women, dressed in various outfits, hold banners and flags emblazoned with slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." The scene is set against the backdrop of the building's impressive entrance, adorned with columns and a glass negative-covered window. The women's faces convey a range of emotions, from intense focus to hopeful anticipation. Among the group are notable figures such as Martha Kuntze and Martha Ewing Newcombe, who were prominent members of the organization. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the tireless efforts of the suffragettes during the 1910s in the United States. Their pickets and protests eventually led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into an important chapter in American history.
