    It's really nice to see the genuine, relaxed smiles... it's easy to think of everything before 1960 as dour due to all the posed photos and lack of color film. So this is a nice reminder that people have always been regular folk.

    I think the date written on the negative is 2/10/13

    Although dates scratched on the Bain negatives may not always indicate the date the photograph was made (some negatives bear multiple dates), it looks as though February 1913 would be an accurate date for the photograph. This photographic print of Elizabeth Freeman en route to the parade is dated Feb. 17, 1913: hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/cph.3b01190 (I'm wondering if the woman smiling on the right in this photograph is, in fact, Elizabeth Freeman.) We'll add date information to the source description and reload it to Flickr. Some Bain photos--among them, the photo of Elizabeth Freeman en route--were included in an essay on the 1913 suffrage parade that highlights the variety of Library of Congress materials that shed light on the event: memory.loc.gov/ammem/awhhtml/aw01e/aw01e.html

    I feel sorry for the poor lady on the right who seems to be wearing a commonly ill-fitting vulcanite denture. Actually you could not be too poor to even be able to get any denture. I am dental technician for 30 years and tend to notice these things. Sorry. The Brooklyn Museum just had a great exhibit on The Woman's Suffrage Movement that I went to see at the top floor.

    FYI – It appears that, since bringing these photographs together as the excellent Women Striving Forward ... set, tags and notes have become disabled for photographs within that set.

    Might be 1914 given the label on the side.
  • Wystan said:
    @gauzy_dress: that label is a Bain serial number, not a date. Other photos on both sides of this one in the sequence are from 1913.

    Great photo! A tough woman in a sea of men.

    Other Bain/LOC photos of visiting British Suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst, addressing (or attempting to address) a rowdy, noisy crowd of young males beside the Subtreasury Building on Wall Street, New York City, on November 27, 1911: With Mrs. Pankhurst in the open car are Hariot Stanton Blatch, U. S. Suffragist leader, and the venerable Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. Mrs. Pankhurst made a return visit to America in October, 1913. On that occasion, foolish U. S. immigration officials decided to bar entry to her, holding her at Ellis Island for deportation. This created a cause celebre, and required the personal intervention of U. S. President Woodrow Wilson to admit her for an already-scheduled lecture tour. The publicity helped suffragist fundraising enormously.
