EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determined and passionate gaze of Miss Lucy Burns, a pioneering American suffragist and women's rights advocate. The image was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio in the early 1910s, during a pivotal moment in the fight for women's suffrage in the United States. Miss Burns is prominently identified as the leader of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage (CUWS), an organization that later became the National Woman's Party. Her activism extended beyond CUWS, as she was also an active member of the National American Women Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Miss Burns played a significant role in the formation of the National Woman's Party and was instrumental in organizing the famous Picketing of the White House. The photograph shows Miss Burns in a serious and focused expression, reflecting her unwavering commitment to the cause of women's equal rights. The image is a testament to the courage and perseverance of the suffragists during this period, as they fought tirelessly for the right to vote. This powerful portrait is a valuable addition to the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the history of the women's suffrage movement in America.
