EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a group of determined suffragettes engaged in picketing outside the White House in Washington D.C. The year was 1917, and the women were demanding the right to vote, a cause that had been gaining momentum for decades. The image shows a line of women, dressed in their Sunday best, holding banners and sashes emblazoned with slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." Some women are standing still and holding their signs high, while others are engaged in animated conversation with each other. The women are gathered around a fence, creating a sense of unity and solidarity in their shared cause. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, which was known for its high-quality glass negatives. The studio was founded by George H. Harris and his wife, Martha Ewing Harris, in 1896. Martha Kuntze, also known as Martha Ewing Newcombe, was a prominent suffragist and a regular client of the studio. She can be seen in the photograph, standing proudly with her fellow suffragettes. The image is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who braved harsh weather, ridicule, and even physical violence to fight for their rights. Their efforts paid off, and the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, was ratified in 1920. Today, this photograph stands as a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of the suffragette movement.
