EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage Arrests, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights in America. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, documents the arrest of a group of determined suffragettes as they peacefully protested for their right to vote on the streets of Washington D.C. The women, dressed in various outfits reflective of the era, are seen touching and supporting one another as they are led away by law enforcement officers. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the courage and resilience of these women, who were willing to risk arrest to fight for their cause. The scene unfolds on a bustling city street, with passersby looking on in curiosity and some even offering encouragement to the suffragettes. The photograph is a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring spirit of those who refuse to be silenced in the pursuit of their rights. This image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 25,000 glass negatives, offers a rich visual record of American history from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph "Woman Suffrage Arrests, 1917" is a powerful reminder of the struggles and triumphs of the suffragette movement and the ongoing fight for women's rights in the United States.
