EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a pivotal moment in American history as women's rights activists gathered to protest outside The White House. The image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, depicts a determined group of suffragettes, led by Martha Kuntze (Newcombe) and Martha Ewing, holding banners and flags emblazoned with slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." The scene unfolds on the exterior of the iconic building, with a crowd of onlookers gathered to bear witness to the political protest. The activists, dressed in their Sunday best, are seen marching and picketing, their faces expressing a range of emotions from defiance to hope. The photograph, taken in the 1910s during a critical period of the women's suffrage movement in the United States, is a powerful reminder of the courage and perseverance of these early activists who fought for the right to vote. The glass negative, created by George H. Harris (or possibly George W. Harris, as there is some confusion regarding the photographer's name), offers a unique glimpse into the past and serves as an important historical document. The image has been preserved in the Heritage Art Collection and continues to inspire and educate future generations about the struggle for women's rights and the role of activism in shaping the course of history.
