Description

The original caption for this photograph reads: Suffragette banner. One of the banners the women who picketed the White House and Capitol carried.

Frustrated with President Woodrow Wilson’s inaction on woman suffrage, the National Woman’s Party picketed the White House. The protesters demonstrated for nearly 30 months until Congress passed a joint resolution proposing a 19th amendment on June 4, 1919.
