Woman Suffrage Parade Suffragettes staged a grand parade in Washington, D.C., in 1913, demanding, among other reforms, a constitutional amendment to enfranchise women, as depicted on the float shown here. Angry crowds tried unsuccessfully to break up the parade. The parade illustrated both the strong, organized support for woman suffrage and the implacable opposition.
