EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Suffrage - Riots, 1917" is a powerful and poignant photograph capturing a pivotal moment in American history, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing. The image, set in the bustling streets of Washington D.C., depicts a chaotic scene of rioting men confronting a group of determined women, who are marching for their right to vote. The year was 1917, and the women's suffrage movement was in full swing. The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) had been campaigning for decades to secure the right to vote for women, and tensions were running high. In this photograph, we see a man in a suit, standing defiantly in front of a line of women, some of whom are holding banners and signs. Behind them, a group of men, some in suits and others in work clothes, are seen throwing rocks and debris, creating a chaotic scene. The photograph was taken by George William Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, a prominent photography studio in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio was known for its high-quality glass negatives, which allowed for clear and detailed images. This photograph, in particular, showcases the studio's ability to capture the raw emotion and energy of the moment. The photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of the women's suffrage movement, and the resistance they faced from those opposed to their cause. It is a reminder of the importance of standing up for what one believes in, even in the face of adversity. Today, the photograph is an essential part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable historical resource that chronicles the social and political landscape of America in the early 20th century.
