Woman Suffrage - Riots, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative image captured by the renowned photography team of Harris & Ewing. This photograph, taken in the United States during the 1910s, documents a significant moment in American history - the fight for women's suffrage and the ensuing riots. A large crowd of men and boys, dressed in various styles of the era, gather outside, some wearing hats like boaters. Amidst the group, a few women, including Martha Ewing Kuntze and her daughter Martha Newcombe Ewing, can be seen leading the charge. The women, dressed in long, flowing dresses, are determined and focused, their expressions conveying a sense of urgency and resolve. The scene is chaotic, with protesters and rioters clashing in the background. Glass negatives like this one offer a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a pivotal moment in the struggle for women's rights. The photograph is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress, a testament to the team's important contribution to American photography history. This image is a poignant reminder of the passion and courage displayed by the suffragettes during their fight for the right to vote. It serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made and the challenges faced in the pursuit of equality, making it an essential piece of both historical and photographic significance.
