EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Rankin, Jeanette I.E. Jeannette, Rep. from Montana, 1917-1919 in Car Surrounded By Suffragettes, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American political history. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, features Jeanette Rankin, the first woman ever elected to the United States Congress, seated in the driver's seat of a car. Surrounding the vehicle are a group of passionate suffragettes, waving banners and flags in support of women's suffrage. The photograph was taken during a political event in the 1910s, a time when the women's suffrage movement was gaining momentum in the United States. Rankin, a Republican representative from Montana, had been a vocal advocate for women's rights and had played a significant role in the passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote. The image showcases the fashion of the era, with the suffragettes dressed in long, flowing dresses and hats, and Rankin wearing a simple, tailored suit. The car, a symbol of progress and freedom, adds to the sense of movement and change in the air. The glass negative captures the determination and excitement of the suffragettes as they celebrate this important milestone in their fight for equality. This photograph is an invaluable piece of American history, preserved in the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. It serves as a reminder of the power of perseverance and the importance of fighting for one's beliefs, no matter the obstacles. The image continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights and American politics.
