EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Pickets, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's rights in America. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image portrays a group of determined suffragettes engaged in picketing outside the White House. The women, dressed in a mix of white and black clothing, hold banners and sashes emblazoned with slogans demanding the right to vote. One woman, her gaze fixed on the camera, raises a flag bearing the stars and stripes with the inscription "Votes for Women." The serene yet defiant expression on her face underscores the unwavering resolve of these pioneering activists. The scene unfolds on a bustling street, with passersby peering curiously at the spectacle. This powerful image, a testament to the courage and perseverance of the suffragette movement, stands as a significant historical artifact and a reminder of the political and social progress that has been achieved since. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress, and serves as a valuable addition to the visual record of the United States during the 1910s.
