Three women cast their ballots at the corner of Fifty-sixth Street and Lexington Avenue, and the caption describes them as "calm about it." The photograph dates to about 1917, a period when New York's suffrage campaign was approaching its major test. Voters in New York State approved women's suffrage by referendum that November, after years of street rallies, petitions, and parades. Images like this one show the moment that campaign aimed for, with ordinary women stepping into a role long reserved for men.
