Summary: Mary Gertrude Fendall (left) and Mary Dubrow (right) standing outside what is likely National Woman's Party headquarters, holding between them a large sign containing text of a Resolution Addressed to Senator Edward J. Gay with a long unrolled sheet of paper, presumably signatures on a petition, laying on the ground in front of them.
Date supplied based on content of resolution shown in photograph, which is addressed to Senator Edward J. Gay, and mentions that "President Woodrow Wilson has urged the passage of the Federal Suffrage amendment before the Senate of the United States and again recently before the whole Congress of the United States as a necessary War and Reconstruction Measure . . ." Wilson first publicly declared his support for the amendment on Jan. 9, 1918. He asked the Senate to pass the amendment as a war measure on Sept. 30, 1918. The amendment was passed in the House on May 21, 1919, and in the Senate on June 4, 1919.
