Picture of the day

Joy Young Rogers (1891–1953) was an American suffragist who served as an assistant editor of The Suffragist, the weekly newspaper of the National Woman's Party and the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. This photograph depicts her (then Joy Oden Young) outside the White House in Washington, D.C., where she presented President Woodrow Wilson with a basket of flowers that contained a request for the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution to allow women to vote in the United States, and letters of support from women of the American West.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden
