EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" is a powerful photograph capturing a pivotal moment in American history, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing. The image portrays a group of determined women, dressed in various layers against the cold winter weather, picketing on the sidewalk in front of a grand building. The women, some carrying banners and flags, are advocating for women's suffrage, the right to vote, a cause that had been gaining momentum in the early 20th century. In the background, several cars can be seen passing by, representing the burgeoning automobile industry that was transforming the country. The women, undeterred, continue their protest, their unwavering gaze fixed on the building's entrance. Among them are Martha Ewing Kuntze and Martha Ewing Newcombe, two prominent suffragists who played significant roles in the movement. The photograph, taken by George William Harris for Harris & Ewing, was captured during a time when the suffrage movement was at its peak, with the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote, just a few years away from being ratified. The image serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the suffragists, who braved harsh weather and societal opposition to demand their fundamental right. Today, it stands as an important historical document, reminding us of the sacrifices made and the progress achieved in the fight for gender equality. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress, which offers a rich visual record of American history during the 1910s and beyond. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of those who fought for change.
