Florence F. Noyes appears here in costume as Liberty, the allegorical figure that suffragists borrowed often in the 1910s, when pageants were a popular way to argue for women's voting rights in public. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency active in the early twentieth century, and its caption information is noted as unverified, so the exact occasion and date remain uncertain. Pageants like this one turned parades and open-air performances into political statements, and the Liberty costume signaled that the cause was about civic freedom as much as the ballot.
