Many women marched
Organizers of the 1913 Washington, DC, suffrage march attempted to racially segregate the parade, but some women of color walked alongside white women, including Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin. A member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, Baldwin marched with other female lawyers in the parade and recalled struggling to "walk four abreast . . . [in a space] no wider than a single car track." She is pictured in her ca. 1911 personnel file photo for the Office of Indian Affairs. |
