Captain Edward Salmon by Joseph Wright of Derby, c.1770s

One hundred years ago today, on Jan. 12, 1915, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to reject a constitutional amendment that would have given women the right to vote. The final vote — 204 against and 174 for — came at the end of a 10-hour debate. It was not until five years later, in 1919, that the 19th Amendment passed, giving the vote to all American women. (Women had only previously been permitted to vote in certain states.) Here's a collection of dramatic photos from the women's suffrage movements in the U.S. and UK, circa 1910-1920.

She was frequently imprisoned and underwent hunger strikes and forcible feeding. IMAGE: TOPICAL PRESS AGENCY/GETTY IMAGES Nov. 18, 1910. A suffragette struggles with a policeman on 'Black Friday,' in Westminster, London. The Conciliation Bill (which would have given the vote to women who occupied premises for which they were responsible) was shelved by Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. On learning of this, the Women's Social and Political Union marched on the House of Commons. A riot followed and the women were assaulted — some severely beaten — by police and others. The newspaper "Votes for Women" reported that 115 women and four men were arrested. The WSPU quickly learned the lessons of that day, and a policy decision was made to pursue their campaign using different tactics. Large deputations were considered to be too dangerous. From this moment, the suffragettes went underground and waged "guerrilla warfare" (their phrase) against the Liberal government. IMAGE: MUSEUM OF LONDON/HERITAGE IMAGES/GETTY IMAGES 1914.
