Four women pose together, one holding a staff topped with a "Votes for Women" banner, a slogan that defined the American suffrage campaign in the early 1910s. The sitter identified as Miss Dock may be Lavinia Dock, a nurse and writer who was active in the movement. Bain News Service photographed the group on February 6, 1913, about a month before the large suffrage procession in Washington, D.C., when marchers pressed Congress and the public for the vote. The studio's wire photographs often show activists deliberately staging themselves for the press, and this portrait is a good example of that practice.
