EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage, 1917," captures a group of determined women standing in front of the headquarters of the Congressional Union for Women Suffrage (CUWS) in Washington D.C. The building's grand entrance is adorned with large banners and sashes displaying the organization's name and their demand for women's suffrage. The women, dressed in their finest attire, hold up their hands in a show of solidarity and strength. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and was a popular choice for documenting political events in the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the courage and perseverance of the women's suffrage movement in America during the 1910s. The women in the photograph are standing in front of the CUWS headquarters, which served as the nerve center of the organization's efforts to lobby Congress for women's right to vote. The banners and sashes displayed on the building reflect the organization's commitment to the cause and their unwavering determination to achieve their goal. The photograph is an important historical artifact that offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history, when women's suffrage was finally gaining momentum and eventually led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote.
