Cameron House, Later Part of Cosmos Club - Woman Suffrage, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a historical photograph taken by renowned American photography studio, Harris & Ewing. This image captures the exterior of the Cameron House located in Lafayette Square, Washington D.C., which served as the offices of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage during the early 1910s. The 19th Amendment, granting women in the United States the legal right to vote, was passed in 1920. However, the fight for women's suffrage had been a long and arduous journey, with the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the National Woman's Party leading the charge. The Cameron House, a beautiful architectural structure, played a pivotal role in this movement as it served as the headquarters for the National Woman's Party, also known as the NWP. The photograph showcases the exterior of the Cameron House, with its bay windows, balconies, and architectural features, providing a glimpse into the past. Women, dressed in their finest attire, can be seen gathered on the balcony, engaged in earnest conversation. The building's grandeur serves as a testament to the determination and perseverance of the suffragettes, who fought tirelessly for their cause. The photograph was taken by Martha Ewing Kuntze, an accomplished photographer who worked for Harris & Ewing. Her glass negative captures the essence of the time, providing a valuable historical record of an important moment in American history. The Cameron House, with its rich heritage and connection to the women's suffrage movement, continues to stand as a symbol of the progress and achievements of women in the United States.
