EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history as women's rights activists took to the streets to demand the right to vote. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image shows a group of determined suffragettes, led by Martha Kuntze and Martha Ewing Newcombe, picketing outside the Capitol building in Washington D.C. The women, dressed in various attire, carry banners and flags bearing slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage and Freedom." The photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragette movement in the United States during the early 20th century. The women, many of whom are shown with determined expressions and clenched fists, were protesting against the denial of their right to vote, which was granted to men at the time. The photograph was taken during a particularly intense period of activism, as the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the more militant National Woman's Party were pushing for the passage of the 19th Amendment, which was ratified in 1920. The photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a powerful visual representation of the political and social climate of the time. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that grassroots activism and peaceful protest can play in shaping the course of history.
