EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history as thousands of women gathered in Washington D.C. to demand their right to vote. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a sea of women in various stages of the suffrage movement's uniform, holding banners and flags emblazoned with slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage and Freedom." The crowd is a diverse representation of women from different backgrounds and professions, all united in their pursuit of the right to vote. Officials and police officers look on, some with curiosity, others with skepticism or even hostility. The suffragettes, determined and resolute, continue their peaceful protest, their unwavering gaze fixed on the future. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the long and arduous journey towards women's suffrage in the United States. It is a testament to the courage and perseverance of the women who fought for their rights, and a reminder of the progress that has been made since then. The image is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a vast archive of glass negatives that documents the social, political, and cultural history of the United States in the early 20th century. The photograph is a valuable addition to the collection, offering a glimpse into a significant moment in American history and the ongoing struggle for women's rights.
