1926, An Army of Women Marches on the Capitol

Let us look back through the ages and news archives at the Women marches. The Greenwood commonwealth, out of Greenwood, Mississippi, dated 26 April 1926, page 4, reports on "An Army of Women Marches On the Capitol."

That year women were claiming to represent 12,000,000 of their sex as they bombarded the Senate prohibition committee at Washington to insist on retention of the prohibition law, with strict enforcement. The picture shown on the left shows them on the capitol steps.

There was no other mention of this march, only the steps of the DC capitol steps with the women posing for the picture.
