Joan charges Riverside Park

Joan of Arc leads the charge through New York's Riverside Park for our celebration of International Women's Day. The 2020 Women's Day observance is particularly meaningful in the United States because this marks 100 years since American women won the right to vote nationwide. That victory was the result of a long, difficult struggle by suffragists—women who faced ridicule, slander, imprisonment, and outright brutality for their efforts to claim their right to vote.
