EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Woman's Committee of the National Defense, an influential organization active between 1910 and 1920, during a meeting at their headquarters in Washington D.C. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of dedicated women standing in a grand stairway or doorway of the building, dressed in their finest attire. The women, who are arranged in a semi-circle, exude a sense of determination and purpose, reflecting their role in supporting the war effort during the early 20th century. The Woman's Committee of the National Defense was established to aid the military during times of conflict, and its members included prominent American women from various social, cultural, and political backgrounds. They raised funds, organized volunteer services, and provided supplies to the armed forces, playing a crucial role in the country's defense efforts. The photograph, taken at Harris & Ewing's photographic studio, is a testament to the significant impact women had on the national scene during this period. The women in the image are seen holding documents, possibly war plans or reports, further emphasizing their role in the decision-making process. The glass negative, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a unique glimpse into the history of women's activism and their contributions to the United States during a pivotal time in the country's history.
