Description

It was once June 14, 1916, a warm, sticky Wednesday morning. The Democratic Convention would soon meet in St. Louis. Within the Jefferson Hotel, the boys ate breakfast and met with their committees. Out of doors the hotel, thousands of women quietly took their places along both sides of Locust Street. They stood shoulder to shoulder, every one in a dress that brushed the pavement, shading herself with a yellow parasol and wearing a yellow sash that said Votes for Women.”?
