National Women's Party watchfires burn outside White House, Jan. 1919

Suffrage

Photograph of National Woman's Party watchfire demonstrators standing with banners and fire in urn in front of White House. One banner reads, "President Wilson is deceiving the world when he appears as the prophet of democracy. President Wilson has opposed those who demand democracy for this country. He is responsible for the disfranchisement of millions of Americans. We in America know this. The world will find him out."
Cropped version of the photograph published in The Suffragist, 8, no. 1 (Feb. 20, 1920): n.p. Shows only the fire, banners, and White House; no people in published version.
