Title

Charlotte L. Peirce and Caroline Katzenstein photograph, 21 May 1921

Description

Charlotte Woodward Peirce was a lifelong woman's rights activist and one of the signers of the Declaration of Sentiments at the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention. Of the original 68 women who signed the Declaration, Peirce was the only one to see the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. In this photograph, Peirce symbolically hands the trowel used at the dedication of the National Woman's Party headquarters in Washington D.C. to Caroline Katzenstein. This photograph is one of a series amassed by Katzenstein for her book, 'Lifting the Curtain,' which surveys the history of the woman's suffrage in the United States.
