EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Press Correspondents with Lillian Wald and Jane Addams, 1916," captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's suffrage and social reform in America. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, features a group of intently listening press correspondents gathered around two influential women's rights advocates, Lillian Wald and Jane Addams. Lillian Wald (1867-1940), a pioneering public health nurse and social activist, is seen in the center, her gaze fixed on one of the reporters. Known as the "Angel of the Slums," Wald dedicated her life to improving living conditions for the urban poor and was a tireless advocate for women's suffrage. To her right stands Jane Addams (1860-1935), a social worker, author, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Addams, the founder of Hull-House in Chicago, was a leading figure in the settlement house movement and a champion for social justice, labor rights, and women's suffrage. The press correspondents, both male and female, appear engaged and attentive, reflecting the growing public interest in the women's suffrage movement and the transformative role these trailblazing women were playing in American society. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role the media played in amplifying the voices of social reformers and shaping public opinion during this era of significant change. This poignant image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the people, issues, and events that shaped the 20th century.
