Description

Summary: Informal portrait, half-length, Mary Pickford, seated, facing left with head turned toward camera, wearing a suit and hat, and holding a sheet of Equal Rights seals.

Transcribed from related photograph: "On Wednesday, February 15th, the 119th anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony will be celebrated by the National Woman's Party and other organizations which favor the passage of the Equal Rights bill now pending before Congress. Among the militant women of America who believe that measure should pass, for the weal of the Commonwealth, is Mary Pickford who, after achieving fame and fortune as a popular idol on the screen, is devoting her time now to constructive work that has to do with human progress and betterment. "America's sweetheart" is shown here with a sheet of Equal Rights seals which, as a member of the National Woman's Party, she has just purchased so that the crusade to "balance the Constitution" may be carried on with vigor and effectiveness."
