A hundred years ago World War I hadn’t yet happened, but was about to. A hundred years ago “automobiles” were just hitting the market, most of them Ford Model T. A hundred years ago the present was a hazy future inside a cubist painting.
Here’s 5 “Then and Now’s,” 1913 and 2013, to look over the slow grind and twerk of the last hundred years.
An official program from the Woman Suffrage Procession
1913: The Woman Suffrage Parade takes place on March 3rd in Washington DC, a day before the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson. It marks a moment in first wave feminism, primarily oriented at allowing women the right to vote. The parade is led by Inez Milholland. She rides a horse down Pennsylvania Avenue. Helen Keller is one of 8000 in the on-foot crowd.
