EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage (Misc. Individual Suffragettes)," 1917," by Harris & Ewing, offers a poignant glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. The image depicts a group of determined women, dressed in various outfits, standing outside with banners and flags, united in their quest for women's suffrage. The women, who are all looking directly at the camera, exude a sense of strength and resolve. The photograph was taken during a time when the women's suffrage movement was gaining momentum in the United States. The 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, was still several years away from being ratified. These women, who are picketing and holding up banners, were making their voices heard and demanding the right to participate in the democratic process. The photograph is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of those who fought for women's rights. The banners and flags in the image bear slogans such as "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage and Freedom," which serve as a reminder of the importance of the cause. The women's clothing, which ranges from simple dresses to more elaborate outfits, adds to the historical significance of the image. This photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives and 1,500 prints. The collection is a valuable resource for scholars and historians, providing a visual record of American history during the early 20th century. The image of the suffragettes is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that led to the passage of the 19th Amendment and the achievement of women's suffrage in the United States.
