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 in their fight for suffrage. Taken by renowned photographers Harris & Ewing, the image shows a determined group of suffragettes, led by Martha Kuntze and Martha Ewing Newcombe, picketing outside the White House. The women, dressed in various outfits, hold banners that read "Votes for Women," "Suffrage and the Navy," and "No Vote, No Peace." The scene is chaotic as sailors from the nearby Navy Yard, represented by the man in the foreground, engage with the protesters. The sailor, with a curious expression on his face, seems to be examining one of the banners, while other sailors can be seen in the background, some with stern expressions, others with amusement. The women, undeterred, continue their protest, their voices adding to the cacophony of the bustling city. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the suffragettes during a time when their right to vote was still denied. The image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a powerful reminder of the political upheaval and social change that characterized the early 20th century in America.
