EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history as women's rights activists gathered in the nation's capital to demand the right to vote. Taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, the image shows a large crowd of both men and women, standing outside, with banners and sashes displaying their message of suffrage. The group is gathered around several automobiles, which were a new and exciting form of transportation at the time, adding an element of modernity to the scene. Among the many faces in the photograph, one can spot prominent suffragettes like Martha Kuntze Newcombe and Martha Ewing, who were instrumental in the suffrage movement. The women are seen holding up banners and flags, their determined expressions conveying their unwavering commitment to the cause. The men in the photograph appear supportive, some even joining in the protest. The photograph was taken on the outskirts of Washington D.C., likely near the U.S. Capitol or the White House, where many political protests took place during this era. The image is a powerful reminder of the collective spirit and perseverance of the suffragettes, who would eventually succeed in securing the right to vote for women with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
