Woman Suffrage - Group Leaving Headquarters, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful photograph capturing a pivotal moment in the history of the women's suffrage movement in America. Taken by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image depicts a group of determined women, dressed in their finest attire, leaving the headquarters of the Congressional Union for Women Suffrage (CUWS). The building's grand exterior serves as an impressive backdrop to the scene, with large banners bearing the message "Votes for Women" and "Suffrage Now" fluttering in the wind. The women, led by Martha Kuntze and Martha Ewing Newcombe, carry flags and hold signs, their faces expressing a range of emotions from resolve to excitement. The photograph is a testament to the collective spirit and unwavering commitment of these women, who were fighting for their right to vote in the United States. The demonstration took place during a time when women's suffrage was a controversial and divisive issue, and this image serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and perseverance of the suffragettes. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, a common technique during the early 20th century. It is now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for historians and researchers studying the history of American politics and social movements. The image is a significant addition to the heritage art collection, and its enduring impact continues to inspire and inform contemporary discussions on gender equality and political activism.
