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. Two years later, when this photo was taken, the third annual parade attracted 20,000 participants and half a million spectators. In 1917, women in the state of New York finally gained the right to vote.
