Women Striving Forward is a collection of 23 photos from the Library of Congress that highlight the many arenas in which women have striven individually and collectively not only for their own betterment, but for better conditions and greater justice in the world at large. The photos show the resilience, determination, and humor that it takes to survive and flourish, sometimes against great odds. For the rest of Women's History Month, the blog will be including pictures from this collection.
This photo, taken between 1910 and 1915, shows women suffrage hikers General Rosalie Jones, Jessie Stubbs, and Colonel Ida Craft, who is wearing a bag labeled "Votes for Women pilgrim leaflets."
