EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Granger Collection captures a moment in history during the Lockwood Campaign of 1884. In Rahway, New Jersey, an amused crowd gathers to witness a parade like no other. Men donning Mother Hubbards and striped stockings march through the streets, their attire intended to mock Belva Lockwood's presidential campaign on the Equal Rights ticket. The contemporary wood engraving perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of this satirical event. Spectators line the streets, some holding signs expressing their opinions on this groundbreaking candidate and her fight for equal rights. The late 19th-century American scene is brought to life with parasols shading onlookers from the sun as they eagerly observe this unique spectacle. The image highlights not only Lockwood's determination but also sheds light on societal attitudes towards women in politics at that time. The men dressed in traditionally feminine clothing serve as a symbol of sexism and opposition to female candidates seeking political power. Rahway, New Jersey becomes a backdrop for both support and resistance towards Lockwood's campaign as she challenges gender norms and fights for equality. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in our pursuit of equal rights while acknowledging that there is still work to be done.
