Mrs. John B. Henderson, 1913: A Visionary American Activist This photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1913, features Mary Foote Henderson, an influential American author and social activist. Mary was a passionate campaigner for women's suffrage, temperance, and vegetarianism, leaving an indelible mark on the social and political landscape of the early 20th century. Mary Henderson, born as Mary Newton Foote, was a trailblazer in her time. She is seen here dressed in a full-length, high-collared frock, made of fine fabric, with intricate frogging detailing at the front. The dress, an elegant expression of the era's fashion, complements Mary's poised and determined demeanor. Mary's activism began in the late 1800s when she became involved in the women's suffrage movement. She was a prominent figure in the National American Woman Suffrage Association and the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. Her writings, including her book "The Woman's Side," were instrumental in raising awareness and support for women's rights. Mary was also a vocal advocate for temperance and vegetarianism. She believed that these causes were interconnected with women's suffrage and the overall betterment of society. Her unwavering commitment to these causes earned her respect and admiration from her contemporaries. This photograph, a precious piece from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to making a difference. Mary Foote Henderson's legacy continues to inspire generations, reminding us of the power of determination, activism, and the pursuit of social justice.
