Reposted by Allison LangeLaura R. Prieto @laurarprieto.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Wearing white was another conscious political, visual suffragist tactic. It not only invoked feminine purity but – as I learned from @allisonklange.bsky.social and her book "Picturing Political Power" – it was a savvy choice because it showed up vividly in press photos. #hatm #suffspress.uchicago.eduPicturing Political PowerLange's examination of the fights that led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 reveals the power of images to change history.

The only woman of color on the wall is Mary Church Terrell, a (perhaps short-term?) member of NWP. It wasn't put up by NWP, but by park rangers when the site reopened as an NPS site in 2016. We're still trying to do more #HATM 1145

Reposted by Allison LangeWendy Rouse @wendylrouse.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I would be remiss not to note here that the violence suffragists faced from hecklers and the police was part of what motivated many (especially the suffragettes in Britain) to study jiu-jitsu and boxing. #HATM 39925
