EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" is a striking photograph capturing a group of determined women engaged in picketing for women's suffrage outside the United States Capitol building in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, documents an essential moment in American history as women's rights activists continued their fight for the right to vote. The photograph shows a crowd of suffragettes, each carrying banners and flags, standing on the sidewalk, their faces expressing a mix of resolve and exhaustion. The women wear various outfits, some in simple dresses, while others don more elaborate costumes, including sashes and hats adorned with suffrage symbols. In the foreground, a woman holds a large banner that reads, "Votes for Women," while another woman raises a smaller sign, "No Taxation Without Representation." The Capitol building looms in the background, its columns and steps a stark contrast to the chaotic energy of the scene below. The women's picket line stretches out of the frame, a testament to their unwavering commitment to the cause. The photograph was taken during a significant period in the suffrage movement, as the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was just a few years away from being ratified. The photograph is a valuable historical record, capturing the spirit and determination of the suffragettes who fought for their rights and paved the way for future generations. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a vast archive of photographic history that documents the social, political, and cultural landscape of America during the 20th century. The photographers George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Newcombe, who worked under the name Harris & Ewing, captured this moment in history with skill and sensitivity, providing us with a powerful visual record of an essential chapter in American history.
