EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a pivotal moment in American history. The image portrays a determined group of women, dressed in various outfits, standing on a sidewalk, each holding a banner or flag, as they engage in picketing activities. The scene unfolds on a bustling street in the United States, with passersby looking on with curiosity or disapproval. The women's faces exhibit a range of emotions, from intense focus and resolve to defiance and frustration. The banners they carry bear powerful messages, demanding the right to vote, a cause that had been gaining momentum for decades. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for women's rights and eventually succeeded in securing the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, granting women the right to vote in 1920. The black and white image, taken during the 1910s, is a significant piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights in America.
