HFMLJ3_160803_22.JPG: Political Banner, New York State Women's Suffrage Party, 1910
This banner was carried in rallies and marches by members of the New York Women's Suffrage Association. Reformers had been advocating giving white women the vote since the 1840s. However, it was not until the passage of the 19th amendment in 1920 that women gained the vote.

HFMLJ3_160803_34.JPG: Alice Paul
HFMLJ3_160803_37.JPG: American Flag, "Mr. President, What Will You Do For Women's Suffrage?" circa 1916
Alice Paul, a woman's suffrage leader during the early 20th century, liked using extremist tactics. Among these was aiming strong messages directly at the President. In the midst of World War I, President Wilson found this negative publicity both distracting and embarrassing. As a war measure he supported an amendment for women's voting rights. Women achieved the vote in 1920.
HFMLJ3_160803_40.JPG: Broadside,"Congress Must Forbid Inter-State Discrimination Against the Rights of Women," circa 1916
Should voting rights be decided by individual states or the federal government? In this broadside, the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage (later the National Woman's Party) argued for women's voting rights as a national issue.

Interest in voting rights spreads from coast to coast
HFMLJ3_160803_52.JPG: Hood Ornament, "Votes for Women," 1900-1920
Automobiles became significant in the later years of the long fight for women's suffrage, or equal voting rights. Suffragists organized automobile processions, complete with music and colorful decorations, to attract favorable press and rally support around the cause. Participating vehicles could be outfitted with hood ornaments like this one, which called for "Votes for Women" and held two small flags.
HFMLJ3_160803_53.JPG: Poster, "Woman Suffrage is Coming in 1917"
In the early 20th century, women and men alike joined the already decades-long fight for women's suffrage, or equal voting rights. Suffragists collected signatures, delivered speeches, organized public demonstrations, and printed flyers, postcards, and posters to rally support around the cause. Their efforts contributed to the adoption of a constitutional amendment that guaranteed women the right to vote in 1920.

HFMLJ3_160803_71.JPG: Beloit Daily News Headline, "President Urges Woman Suffrage, and Outlines His Reconstruction Policies...," December 2, 1918
This Beloit, Wisconsin newspaper was published near the end of World War I. It announces the first homecoming of American soldiers and outlines President Woodrow Wilson's plan for postwar reconstruction--which included the development of public works projects, the shipment of raw materials to war-worn nations, and the passage of a constitutional amendment granting women equal voting rights.

2016 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000.
Seven relatively short trips this year:
two Civil War Trust conference (Gettysburg, PA and West Point, NY, with a side-trip to New York City),
my 11th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Utah, Nevada, and California),
a quick trip to Michigan for Uncle Wayne's funeral,
two additional trips to New York City, and
a Civil Rights site trip to Alabama during the November elections. Being in places where people died to preserve the rights of minority voters made the Trumputin election even more depressing.
Number of photos taken this year: just over 610,000.
