Woman Suffrage Parade Women marched in a suffrage parade in Washington, D.C., in 1913. The women had to fend off angry crowds who attacked them and tried to break up the parade. Inez Milholland led the march on horseback, replicating the “white knight” on this program. When the crowd threatened the marchers, Milholland spurred her horse into the crowd shouting, “You men ought to be ashamed of yourselves.” The Granger Collection, New York.
