- Description:
- The 1913 march on Washington was the first nationally-organized parade sponsored by the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Over 8,000 participated in the march, and thousands more gathered to watch. When some onlookers began to assault women, Washington police failed to protect them. The resulting scandal proved embarrassing to the authorities. The March 1913 parade captured the imagination of the American public and became one of the movement’s defining moments.
