EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" is a powerful and evocative photograph capturing a group of determined suffragettes engaged in picketing outside the White House in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing in 1917, depicts a diverse group of women, some wearing hats and holding banners aloft, while others carry flags with the inscription "Votes for Women." The women's expressions are focused and resolute, reflecting their unwavering commitment to securing the right to vote for women in the United States. The photograph was taken during a pivotal moment in the woman suffrage movement, which had been gaining momentum since the late 19th century. The picketing outside the White House was part of a larger campaign of nonviolent protests, aimed at pressuring President Woodrow Wilson and Congress to pass the 19th Amendment, which would grant women the right to vote. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, which was founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and its ability to capture the essence of its subjects. This photograph is a testament to the studio's skill in capturing the spirit and determination of the suffragettes on that fateful day in 1917. Today, the photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in American history. It serves as a reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who ultimately succeeded in their quest for the right to vote, paving the way for future generations of women to participate fully in the political process.
