EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Oldest Suffragette, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a poignant moment in the history of women's rights in America. The elderly woman, dressed in a white blouse and black skirt, holds a sash bearing the words "Votes for Women" and gazes directly at the camera with a determined expression. The image was taken outdoors, with American flags flying high in the background, symbolizing the connection between women's suffrage and the patriotism of the time. The woman's clothing, reminiscent of the era, adds to the historical context of the photograph. This image is a powerful reminder of the courage and perseverance of the earliest suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for the right to vote. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the social and political climate of the United States during the early 20th century. The image is a valuable piece of heritage art, showcasing the concept of women's rights and the progression of political change in America.
