The women are holding banners representing states that already have women's suffrage in 1913--the idea of women's suffrage marching across the US, from the free and open West to the stodgy East, was a common theme in US suffrage demonstrations....

The hike to Washington started on February 12, 1913, so this photo was taken before the start. The woman with the Oregon emblem is Elisabeth Freeman IMO, compare with this photo:

She wears the same clothes (see also comments there).

Another suffragist on the photo is Rosalie Jones:

I agree that this was February 10, 1913. A New York Times article from the 11th on page 11 "Suffragists Spread Oratoray and Tracts" describes the bus ride the previous day.
The Library of Congress said:
roketpad and Steve Rhodes: Thank you for the information and NYT article citation. It does appear that the date of Feb. 10, 1913 is correct. We will update the information and reload the description.
