In 1906, Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s daughter, Harriot Stanton Blatch, created the Equality League for Self-Supporting Women for professional and industrial working women, later called the Women’s Political Union. Taking the lead from labor unions, the Women’s Political Union organized the first suffrage parade in New York City in 1910.
This photograph of the fourth annual suffrage parade in New York City in 1913 shows some of the march’s 10,000 participants. In the early 20th century, suffragists marched, petitioned, lobbied, and were even arrested in their pursuit of voting rights for women. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted women the right to vote.
