The caption places this 1905 scene on Broadway as marchers made their way up toward Union Square in New York, a site that was a common gathering point for public demonstrations. The caption calls it the first suffragette parade of its kind, a claim that reflects how the march was presented at the time rather than a verified first. In the early 1900s, the women's suffrage movement was working for the vote through local rallies, parades and petitions, years before the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920. Photographs like this one, from the George Grantham Bain Collection of news pictures, show how such public marches were staged and recorded in the city's streets.
