Photo of the Day
Picture of a crowd surrounding women protesting for voting rights in 1913 Washington, D.C.
Suffrage March
On March 3rd, 1913, thousands of women marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., to demand voting rights. But as visible in this photograph, a much larger and hostile crowd surrounded them, cutting off the parade route and threatening the women with violence. It would be seven more years until the 19th Amendment was passed.
