"Frustrated with President Woodrow Wilson's inaction on woman suffrage, the National Women's Party (NWP) began picketing in front of the White House to press for voting rights for women; they were the first political activists to do so.
This photograph of "Silent Sentinel" Alison Turnbull Hopkins outside the White House poses the central question of the matter. Her banner reads: "Mr. President How Long Must Women Wait for Liberty." The NWP began peacefully protesting six days a week in January 1917, but encountered hostile crowds after the United States entered World War I in April. Dozens of women were arrested, many of whom were jailed and force-fed.
The resulting publicity and public outcry over their treatment is often credited with compelling President Woodrow Wilson to support woman suffrage. The protesters demonstrated for nearly 30 months until Congress passed a joint resolution proposing a 19th amendment on June 4, 1919."
The Gildan 18000 sweatshirt is a unisex heavy blend crewneck made from a 50/50 cotton-polyester fabric, combining softness with lasting durability.
Disclaimers:- Due to the fabric properties, the White color variant may appear off-white rather than bright white.
The Gildan 18000 sweatshirt is crafted from ethically grown US cotton and backed by the US Cotton Trust Protocol, with OEKO-TEX certified dyes that meet safety and environmental standards.
Fabric blends: Heather Sport colors - 60% polyester, 40% cotton
