EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Riots, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a pivotal moment in American history. The image portrays a chaotic scene outside a congressional building, with a large crowd of men and women gathered, some clinging to a fence and others standing atop a fence post. The women, dressed in various hats and clothing, are demonstrating for their right to vote, a cause that had yet to be granted to them at the time. The tension in the air is palpable as the group, primarily composed of men, appear to be attempting to disperse the crowd. Some men can be seen wearing suits and hats, adding an air of authority to their presence. The photograph, taken by George William Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, is a poignant reminder of the intense political climate of the United States during the 1910s. The photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past. The image not only captures the fashion of the time, with the women wearing long, flowing dresses and the men in suits and hats, but also highlights the passion and determination of the suffragette movement. The riotous scene depicted in the photograph underscores the intensity of the struggle for women's suffrage and the significant role it played in shaping American politics.
