TextWaldemar F. C. Thode ran a commercial photography studio in Philadelphia between 1912 and 1920. He made many portrait postcards in a humorous style. Katherine Jamieson was a crucial committee member of the Women’s Federation of the Photographers’ Association of America. In the 1910s, postcards played an important role in raising public awareness of women’s suffrage movements. “Votes for Women” was one of the most popular and recognizable slogans used by suffragists.
