Women's Political Union, Third Annual Suffrage Parade.
Contemporary Illustrated Newspaper Report.

New York Tribune, Sunday May 5, 1912, front page story with the headline, 20,000 Women March in Cause of Suffrage; 500,000 Look on, with three large photos of women marching, and a full column of reporting; somewhat toned, chipped edges, 24 x 17 in.

"Militant suffragism turned out in New York yesterday afternoon and without any hurling of cobblestones or mobbing of police demonstrated its strength in a wonderfully efficient manner. If the numbers in the line of march and the density of the crowds watching the parade may be taken as a criterion, the growth of the movement in the last year has been mighty. To one who watched the parade last year and again this year it was marvellous."
