A women's marching band leading a suffrage parade is the detail that sets this glass negative apart from the many street scenes in the Bain collection. Suffrage marches of the 1910s often featured bands and banners, and women musicians gave a visible answer to the claim that women could not organize or hold public attention. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold pictures of such events to newspapers, so the negative shows how the movement presented itself to a wide audience. The record gives no date, so the specific parade and year remain unconfirmed.
