www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9803/suffrage.html On Feb. 12, with cameras clicking, 16 "suffrage pilgrims" left New York City to walk to Washington for the parade. Many other people joined the original hikers at various stages, and the New York State Woman Suffrage Association's journal crowed that "no propaganda work undertaken by the State Association and Party has ever achieved such publicity." One of the New York group, Elizabeth Freeman, dressed as a gypsy and drove a yellow, horse-drawn wagon decorated with Votes for Women symbols and filled with pro-suffrage literature, a sure way to attract publicity. Two weeks after the procession five New York suffragists, including Elizabeth Freeman, reported to the Bronx motion picture studio of the Thomas A. Edison Co. to make a talking picture known as a Kinetophone, which included a cylinder recording of one-minute speeches by each of the women. This film with synchronized sound was shown in vaudeville houses where it was "hooted, jeered and hissed" by audiences.

In an effort to make these related photographs easier to locate, we are going to add the more accurate year and expand the title slightly in the source data and then reload the description in Flickr.

Same day (note clothing on several of the women, including Rose Sanderman and Elisabeth Freeman):

Congrats on Explore! ⭐ March 24, 2021

Schönes Bild.

Some articles on the march and parade in Washington, DC they were going to memory.loc.gov/ammem/awhhtml/aw01e/aw01e.html womenshistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa010118a.htm This photo was probably taken on February 10, 1913 (the adjacent photo has that date) There are photos from the parade in DC including www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2615544645/ There was also a Pathe newsreel of this (Women descend from a double decker bus which carries a banner `Votes for women') ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/592106

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.

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.

A similar photo ist depicted in New-York tribune., February 11, 1913, Page 12 with the names of the women on the bus: Left to right: Elizabeth Freeman, Evelyn McCullough, Mabelle Morgan, Frances Hedges, "Colonel" Ida Craft, Helen Hoy Greeley, "General" Rosalie Jones, Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw, Rose Sanderson (1), Mrs. John Boldt, Hetty Wright Graham and Constance Leupp. (1) the correct name is Rose Sanderman
