Summary

Description
English: This image and cartoon drawing captures a significant moment during a women's suffrage meeting held in front of the Park Theater in Columbus Circle, New York, early October, 2015. The photograph shows Elsie Benedict, a prominent suffragist from Colorado, in the midst of delivering a speech to an assembled crowd. The scene unfolds as a bag of water is unexpectedly dropped from the roof of a nearby building, drenching both Elsie Benedict and Lieutenant Governor Morgan of Kansas, who had just concluded his address. Despite this interruption, Elsie Benedict is seen maintaining her composure, embodying resilience and determination. Mrs. Benedict and Lieutenant Governor Morgan of Kansas, who had finished his speech, were drenched. “You can’t dampen my enthusiasm in that way,” exclaimed Mrs. Benedict. “Nor mine! We are used to cold water out in Kansas,” said Mr. Morgan. Her reaction displayed a stance of unwavering commitment to the cause of women's suffrage. The audience's reaction varies, with some showing surprise and others expressing support. The backdrop of the image includes urban elements characteristic of early 20th-century New York, providing a historical context to the event.
