EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Abby Scott Baker, Occoquan Uniform, 1917," captures the determination and resilience of American suffragist and women's rights advocate, Abby Scott Baker. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts Baker in a simple yet powerful outfit: a checked gingham dress and apron, reminiscent of the work uniforms worn by inmates at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia. Baker, a member of the National Woman's Party, was arrested in September 1917 and sentenced to 60 days in the Occoquan Workhouse for picketing the White House in support of women's suffrage. The "Silent Sentinels," as they were known, braved harsh conditions, including beatings and force-feedings, in their unwavering commitment to securing the right to vote for women. The photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by suffragists during the early 20th century. Baker's steely gaze and strong posture convey a sense of unyielding resolve, making this image a powerful symbol of the women's suffrage movement and the fight for women's rights in America.
