EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Suffrage - Riots, 1917" is a powerful photograph capturing the intensity and passion of the Woman Suffrage Movement in the United States during the early 20th century. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, this glass negative image portrays a chaotic scene of rioting in the streets of Washington D.C. At the heart of the image, a group of determined suffragettes, dressed in white and carrying banners and sashes, march forward, their faces set with determination. Behind them, a crowd of men, some holding children, look on with a mix of curiosity, apprehension, and hostility. In the foreground, a boy clutches a sash, perhaps taken from one of the suffragettes, as two other boys engage in a heated argument. The photograph was taken during a particularly volatile period in the Woman Suffrage Movement, when protests and civil disobedience had become more common. The movement, which sought to secure the right to vote for women, had gained momentum in the years leading up to World War I, but faced significant opposition from many men and political leaders. Despite the risks, suffragettes continued to press for their cause, organizing marches, rallies, and demonstrations to raise awareness and put pressure on lawmakers. This image, taken by Harris & Ewing, provides a snapshot of this pivotal moment in American history, capturing the energy and emotion of a movement that would ultimately succeed in achieving its goal. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. and is a testament to the power of photography to capture history in the making.
