In February 1913, Rosalie Gardiner Jones led a groundbreaking women's rights march from New York City to Washington, DC, accompanied by "Colonel" Ida Craft and a dedicated volunteer army. Defying the skepticism of prominent suffragists, they undertook a 250-mile journey through harsh winter conditions, facing violence and prejudice. Their march, marked by media coverage, culminated in a dramatic reception in Washington, drawing over 100,000 spectators, showcasing both support and opposition, and solidifying its place in history as a pivotal moment for women's rights.
