EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Woman Suffrage - Group Before Capitol, 2 Apr 1917," captures a pivotal moment in American history. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image shows a diverse crowd of women gathered before the Capitol building in Washington D.C. The women, dressed in various attires, are united in their cause, holding banners and signs that read "No War," "Peace," and "Votes for Women." The date of the photograph is significant as it comes just days before President Woodrow Wilson's address to Congress on April 2, 1917, in which he asked for a declaration of war against Germany. The women in the photograph were not only advocating for their right to vote but also against the impending war. The presence of horses and cars in the background adds to the sense of the era, with the automobile representing the modernity of the time. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the suffragette movement in the United States during the early 20th century. The women in the photograph were not just passive observers but active participants in shaping the political landscape of their country. The image is a powerful reminder of the intersectionality of the women's suffrage and anti-war movements and the importance of peaceful protest in advocating for social change. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection in the Library of Congress, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives taken by the studio between 1912 and 1933. The collection is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the social, political, and cultural history of the United States during the early 20th century.
