EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio between 1910 and 1920, depicts a determined woman holding a banner outside the Cameron House in Washington, D.C., the headquarters of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. The banner bears the inspiring message, "Forward out of errors, leave behind the night; forward through the darkness, forward into light." During this period, the Congressional Union, later known as the National Woman's Party, was a leading force in the fight for women's suffrage in the United States. The 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, was ratified in 1920, marking a significant milestone in American history. The woman in the photograph, with her resolute expression and raised arm, symbolizes the unwavering commitment and perseverance of the suffragettes. The image captures the essence of the movement, which sought to challenge the status quo and bring about change through peaceful protest and activism. The Cameron House, located on 14th Street NW, served as the organization's headquarters and was a hub of activity for the suffrage movement. The building, with its imposing facade, provides a fitting backdrop to the woman and her banner. This photograph is an important historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of American history and the struggle for women's rights. It is a testament to the power of collective action and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge the status quo and strive for a better future.
