EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sewing stars on suffrage flag, between 1910 and 1920," captures a poignant moment in American history. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of women diligently sewing stars onto a white suffrage flag. The stars represent the individual states that had ratified the 19th Amendment, granting women the legal right to vote in the United States. The photograph was taken between 1910 and 1920, a period of intense activism for women's suffrage in the United States. The National Women's Party, led by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, spearheaded the movement with protests, marches, and hunger strikes. The suffragists believed that women's suffrage was a constitutional right, as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. The women in the photograph are deeply focused on their task, their determined expressions reflecting their commitment to the cause. The flag, with its growing number of stars, symbolizes the progress being made towards achieving women's suffrage. The image is a powerful reminder of the collective effort and perseverance required to bring about social change. The photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, which documents the social, political, and cultural history of the United States during the early 20th century. The collection, which includes glass negatives, offers a unique perspective on this important period in American history.
