Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful photograph captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio. The image captures a group of determined women, standing in front of a building with American flags and suffrage banners, engaged in picketing for women's suffrage rights. The women, dressed in various outfits, hold banners that read "Votes for Women," "Suffrage Now," and "No Taxation Without Representation." Their faces are set with a mix of resolve and exhaustion, reflecting the long-standing fight for women's right to vote in the United States. The photograph was taken during a pivotal moment in the woman suffrage movement, which gained momentum in the early 20th century. The women's picketing outside the White House in Washington D.C., as seen in this image, was a significant tactic used to bring attention to their cause and put pressure on the government to grant women the right to vote. The photographers, George H. Harris and Martha Ewing, were known for their work documenting social and political events in the United States. Their photographic studio, Harris & Ewing, was a leading provider of news and stock photographs during the 1910s. This image, now part of the Harris Ewing Collection in the Library of Congress, is a testament to their contribution to American history and the preservation of important social and political moments. The photograph's composition, with the women standing in a line in front of the building, creates a sense of unity and solidarity among the suffragettes. The use of American flags and the building's exterior as a backdrop emphasizes the political nature of the scene and the women's demand for their rightful place in the democratic process. Overall, "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes and the significance of their fight for women's suffrage in the United States.
