EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Mrs. Rheta C. Dorr, a pioneering American journalist, writer, and political activist, is seen holding the first edition of "The Suffragist" newspaper. Dressed in a simple corduroy coat and dress, with a cord belt cinching her waist, Dorr exudes a sense of determination and resolve. The year was 1913, and Dorr was the first editor of "The Suffragist," a publication of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. The Congressional Union, later known as the National Woman's Party, was a leading organization in the fight for women's suffrage in the United States. Dorr's editorial leadership of "The Suffragist" helped to galvanize the suffrage movement, providing a platform for advocacy, education, and mobilization. The first edition of "The Suffragist" in Dorr's hands is a precious artifact of history, a testament to the courage and tenacity of the women's suffrage movement. The photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, captures a moment of historical significance, one that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences as we reflect on the struggle for women's rights and the ongoing fight for gender equality. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role that journalism and the media play in shaping public opinion and driving social change. Dorr's unwavering commitment to the cause, as evidenced by her editorial leadership of "The Suffragist," paved the way for the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote in 1920. This photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, and a testament to the power of the written word and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to challenge the status quo.
