EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917," captures a group of determined women engaged in picketing for women's suffrage outside the White House in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio during the early 20th century, offers a powerful glimpse into the political activism of the 1910s in America. The women, dressed in simple yet bold outfits, hold banners and sashes emblazoned with slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." Some clasp flasks in their hands, suggesting long hours spent on the picket line. Their faces are set with resolve and determination, their eyes fixed on the camera with unwavering intensity. The photograph was taken during a pivotal moment in the woman suffrage movement, which sought to gain the right to vote for women in the United States. The picket line outside the White House was a significant tactic used by suffragettes to draw attention to their cause and put pressure on President Woodrow Wilson to support their efforts. The photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the women who fought for the right to vote. Their legacy continues to inspire generations of women who have fought for equality and social justice.
