EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determined spirit of Ruth Crocker, a prominent American suffragist during the 1910s. Dressed in a white blouse and a sash adorned with the colors of the suffrage movement, Ruth exudes a sense of resolve and dedication to the cause of women's equal rights. Ruth Crocker was a sister of Gertrude Crocker and an active campaigner for women's suffrage in the United States. The photograph was taken during the height of the suffrage movement, a time when women across the country were fighting for the right to vote. The image is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which features over 40,000 glass negatives taken by the Harris Ewing photographic studio between 1915 and 1940. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and his wife Martha Ewing, was known for its high-quality portraits and still images. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the important role that women played in the social and political landscape of the early 20th century. Ruth Crocker's unwavering commitment to the suffrage movement is evident in her intense gaze and the confident posture she displays. Her sash, emblazoned with the words "Equal Rights," further emphasizes her dedication to the cause. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the suffragists who fought for women's rights and paved the way for future generations of feminists and activists. The photograph's creator is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the Harris Ewing Collection and a significant historical document that sheds light on an important chapter in American history.
