EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Riots, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history as women's rights activists clash with law enforcement during a suffrage protest. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a chaotic scene with men in uniform facing off against a determined group of women, who are picketing with banners and flags. One woman, identified as Martha Kuntze Newcombe, stands defiantly in the foreground, her arm raised and a banner in her hand. The background is filled with a sea of people, some cheering on the protesters while others look on with curiosity or apprehension. The photograph was taken during a time when the women's suffrage movement was gaining momentum in the United States, and the right to vote was still a contentious issue. The glass negative, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragettes who fought for their rights and paved the way for future generations.
