EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history as women's rights activists took to the streets to demand the right to vote. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image shows a group of determined suffragettes standing on the other side of a fence, holding banners and sashes emblazoned with slogans like "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." The women's intense focus and unwavering stance convey their unyielding commitment to the cause. The photograph was taken during a period of heightened activism, as the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the more militant National Women's Party waged campaigns across the country to secure the right to vote for women. The picket line depicted in the image was a common tactic used by suffragettes to draw attention to their cause and put pressure on politicians and the public to support women's suffrage. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into a critical moment in the fight for women's rights in the United States. It is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes who paved the way for future generations of women to exercise their right to vote and participate fully in the democratic process.
