Gloria Steinem greets protesters at the barricades before speaking at the Women's March on Washington.
Hundreds of thousands of men and women joined the Women's March on Washington on a crisp Saturday morning the day after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the US.
The march aims to bring together women across diverse backgrounds and send a bold message to the new administration that they will not be ignored or have their rights stomped on.
People carried signs with calls for gender equality and anti-Trump statements, though the rally's organizers have insisted the demonstration is more pro-women than anti-Trump. Many sported pink knitted beanies called "pussy hats," a symbol of solidarity among the protestors. One city official told the Associated Press that turnout estimates are now at 500,000 - up from the 200,000 who were originally expected to come.
These stunning and soon to be iconic photos show what it was like to be there.
We'll be updating this post as more photos come in.
