Women’s voices in the political stage are marginalized groups during the early 1900s, where they are unable to vote due to their gender and the society’s stereotypical expectations of them. Following the Seneca Falls convention’s notion, suffragists paraded down New York's 5th Avenue in October, 1917 (New York Times).
Late in times, Women’s identities were shaped stereotypically by the male-dominant society, who objectified women and categorized their identity as moody, radically sensual, and unable to make clear decisions outside of house-chore tasks such as voting.
However, women were not silenced, and they tactically demanded for the rights to vote, and express their bold voices that seek for equalities by bringing their narrative in public domains on a daily basis. As in the image, the civil rights movement as a parade is a move to back the federal amendment under the rules of President Woodrow Wilson, which prohibit women’s rights to vote.
In the parade, women displayed cards showing millions of women’s name who call for their rights to vote in United States. This representation of female’s togetherness and collective demand for justice gathered immense attention from the public and the press, even if technology is not an available tool to benefit and disseminate their parade. These women were resilient towards silence and inequalities, and the most powerful they have is the collective courage to stand against the authority and have faith in female powers even under constraints.
