EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a pivotal moment in American history. The image portrays a determined group of women, dressed in various outfits, standing on a crowded city street, holding banners and flags that read "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now." The women, known as suffragettes, were advocating for their right to vote, a cause that had gained momentum in the early 20th century. The scene is set in the United States, during the 1910s, a time when women's rights were a contentious political issue. The women in the photograph are shown looking directly at the camera, their expressions conveying a sense of resolve and determination. The contrast between the women's serious demeanor and the vibrant colors of their banners and flags adds to the visual impact of the image. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 125,000 glass negatives created by the Washington, D.C.-based photographic studio. The studio, founded in 1896, was known for its high-quality work and documented many significant events in American history. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who fought for their right to participate in the democratic process. The image continues to resonate today, as women around the world continue to advocate for their rights and strive for gender equality.
