Harris & Ewing - Suffragettes

Harris & Ewing was a photographic studio that provided photos to news services in the early 20th century. Over 25,000 raw images are online at the Library of Congress (that's the source for the ones I'm posting, after editing). Shorpy has a collection of ones he has edited online also.

The women's suffrage movement, working to get women the right to vote, was very active in the first two decades of the 20th century, before its eventual success. Here are some photos from the suffrage movement.
