EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a pivotal moment in American history. The image portrays a group of determined women, dressed in various outfits, standing on a crowded street, holding banners and flags, as they engage in a peaceful picket line for women's suffrage. The scene is set in the United States during the 1910s, an era marked by significant social and political change. The women in the photograph, known as suffragettes, are advocating for their right to vote, a privilege that had been denied to them based on their gender. Their unwavering commitment is evident in their focused expressions and the intensity of their gaze as they look directly at the camera. The contrast between the women's traditional clothing and their modern, progressive message adds depth to the image, highlighting the tension between the past and the future. The photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable archive of glass negatives that documents the social, political, and cultural landscape of the United States during the early 20th century. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes and their role in shaping the political landscape of the United States.
