Here’s a great photograph of suffragists to kick off Women’s History Month. It’s from the Library of Congress collection on Flickr. The Library of Congress was the first participant in The Commons on Flickr, a project where cultural institutions share historical images that are free of copyright restrictions, and encourage members of the Flickr community to add notes, tags and comments.
