EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph features Ruth Crocker, a prominent American suffragist and activist from the early 1900s. Dressed in a simple white blouse and a green sash symbolizing her commitment to women's suffrage, Ruth exudes a sense of determination and resolve. The photograph was taken in 1917, a pivotal year in the women's rights movement in the United States. Ruth was the sister of Gertrude Crocker and is depicted here with a serious expression, her gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer, but it is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives, is a valuable historical resource documenting life in the United States during the early 20th century. Ruth's activism was influenced by her strong belief in equal rights for women. She was an active member of various women's organizations, including the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and worked tirelessly to promote the cause of women's suffrage. Her sister, Martha Kuntze Newcombe, was also an activist and a suffragist. The photograph captures a moment in history when women's rights were finally gaining recognition in the United States. The suffragist movement, which had been ongoing for several decades, was gaining momentum, and women's right to vote was finally enshrined in law with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Ruth Crocker's unwavering commitment to the cause of women's suffrage is a testament to the power of individual action and the importance of collective activism. Her legacy continues to inspire women's rights activists to this day, reminding us of the importance of standing up for what we believe in and working towards a more just and equal society for all.
