Mrs. Josephine Bennett, 1917: A Pioneering Activist for Women's Suffrage This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing in 1917, captures the determined and resolute gaze of Mrs. Josephine Bennett, an influential campaigner and activist for women's right to vote in the United States. The image is a poignant reminder of the significant role women played in the early 20th century fight for suffrage and broader social justice. Mrs. Bennett was a passionate advocate for women's rights, joining picket lines with workers and strikers to demand better pay, improved working conditions, and an end to child labor. Her activism extended beyond labor issues, as she was a vocal supporter of the women's suffrage movement. The photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Bennett's unwavering commitment to the cause. Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, she exudes a sense of strength and conviction, embodying the spirit of the women's movement that was gaining momentum during the 1910s. Martha Kuntze, also known as Josephine Day Bennett and later Martha Ewing Newcombe, was a trailblazer in her own right. Her activism paved the way for the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States in 1920. This powerful image serves as a testament to her legacy and the enduring impact of the suffragist movement on American history.
