EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Mrs. R.C. Burleson, née Jane Walker Burleson, proudly displays her role as the Grand Marshal of the Woman Suffrage Parade of 1913 in Washington, D.C. The suffragist, socialite, and artist wears a simple yet elegant dress adorned with a striking hat, accessorized with a sash and badge, emblematic of her commitment to women's suffrage. Jane Walker Burleson was an American trailblazer, a champion for women's rights, and an influential figure in the early 20th century. Married to Richard Coke Burleson, she was a prominent member of high society, but her passion for activism led her to become an ardent suffragette. The photograph, taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, captures a pivotal moment in Burleson's life. The parade, which took place on March 3, 1913, was a turning point in the suffrage movement, attracting thousands of women from across the United States. The event is now considered a significant milestone in the fight for women's right to vote. Despite her achievements, Burleson's life took a tragic turn. She and her husband divorced in 1938, with Isabelle, his second wife, named as a co-defendant. In 1940, Burleson shot and killed Isabelle in a South Carolina restaurant. She was sentenced to 12 years in prison but was released after serving eight years. This photograph, taken decades before these events, stands as a testament to Burleson's unwavering dedication to the suffrage cause. It serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of the women who fought for their right to vote and paved the way for future generations. The Harris & Ewing Collection, housed in the Library of Congress, preserves this historical image, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable story of Mrs. R.C. Burleson.
