The article is long enough and new enough. The hook is directly cited. A QPQ has been completed. The image is properly licensed. I assume good faith on the New York Times reference because it won't let me read it without subscribing. Either hook is fine. SL93 (talk) 20:29, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This would be a good lead hook for International Women's Day on March 8th. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:31, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Victuallers to see what they think. SL93 (talk) 19:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Its an honour that you guys are even considering it. Thank you! The image could be re-cropped if there is an optimum aspect ratio. Thanks for the review. Great honour for Women in Red. Victuallers (talk) 15:47, 23 January 2021 (UTC) - N.B. The photo was taken on International Women's Day[reply]
