womenssuffrage

Margaret Ogg is best known for her extensive political, social, and feminist activities. Additionally, she was a poet, writer, and an accomplished musician, playing viola in the family quartet, as well as holding membership with the Musical Association. A staunch monarchist and anti-socialist, Ogg actively toured outback townships in Queensland promoting women's suffrage and encouraging pioneer women to become involved in state and national affairs. As a founder, co-founder, and member of many Queensland women's organisations, she was consistently at the forefront of political and social campaigns to secure reforms for Queensland's women and children. Ogg remained an active member of the Brisbane political and cultural scene up until her death. Margaret Ogg was multitalented, intellectual, community-minded, indomitable, and quick-witted. Shortly before her death, in a letter dated 28 October 1946, Miss Ogg wrote: "No woman can do more than her little bit - often falling far short of intention, but it has been my privilege to have as co-workers some of the finest women in Queensland, and the success and development which attended our efforts was, and is due to their loyalty and self-sacrifice, without which no sure foundation can be laid".

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.
