Violence erupts in Washington over women’s suffrage march.
Women march in Washington D.C
Instead of being greeted by an enthusiastic crowd, the soon to be inaugurated president, Woodrow Wilson, was greeted by a shroud of violence sweeping Pennsylvania Avenue and
directed towards women’s suffrage marchers. Angry anti-suffrage men harassed the gathering of marchers and in some cases actually brutally beat the peaceful protesters. This group of
protesters was comprised of approximately 10,000 women who joined together to shed light on the need for change. More on E3 March 3rd 1913
