Suffragists marched for the vote in 1913 in New York City. The sign in the rear of the parade says, "New York City women have no vote at all." In the front, other suffragists carry signs pointing out voting rights women already have in various states. "In all but 4 states women have some suffrage" is at the center of the front row, surrounded by other signs including "Connecticut women have had school suffrage since 1893" and "Louisiana tax paying women have limited suffrage." Several other signs point to upcoming suffrage votes, including "Pennsylvania men will vote on a woman suffrage amendment November 2."
