Summary

An old photo of a little girl in a dress.

Public domain portrait photograph, free to use, no copyright restrictions image - Picryl description

The beginning of the twentieth century was a period of dramatic change for women in the West. In the late Victorian period women were constricted by a patriarchal social structure. But the early twentieth century saw the creation of the Suffragette movement, the catalyst for the rapid social change that occurred over the rest of the century. With career options other than marriage and motherhood opening up to them, women engaged with politics, served in the two world wars, made an impact on the artistic and literary worlds and experienced social and sexual liberation. Between 1880 and 1910, the number of women employed in the United States increased from 2.6 million to 7.8 million. Women's organizations in towns and cities across the U.S. were working to promote suffrage, better schools, the regulation of child labor, women in unions, and liquor prohibition. By emphasizing traditional traits, female social reformers created new spaces for themselves in local and then national government even before they had the right to vote.

King and Queen of England inspect Red Cross activities at the American hospital, Dartford, near London. The king couldn't wait until he got inside a ward to talk with the wounded. On his way to the first of the wards he notices a row of wounded cots out doors, whom the Brooklyn nurses had brought out so that they might enjoy the warm autumn sunshine. The King led the Queen and the Princess Mary over among these. The Queen showed much interest in the nurses as well as the wounded men and asked them many questions about their work. The photograph shows the King talking with Colonel E.H. Fiske of Brooklyn, commander of the hospital. Princess Mary is visible just behind the Queen, and near her the Chief Nurse, Miss Annie Mack of Brooklyn
