OriginalAda Flatman, one of the leading British suffragettes, who, when the suffrage organisations of Britain agreed to stop work until after WWI, decided to move to the U.S. and joined Alice Paul to become the business manager of The Suffragist.
Reason
The archives of the National Woman's Party are a treasure trove of material, and, with the 100th anniversary of U.S. suffrage coming up, and the 100th anniversary of U.K. suffrage just past, I want to do what I can (and, yeah, I say that a lot. It's because I can do a lot). This image of Ada Flatman is lovely, and, given the size of the photo, it's about a 500dpi scan. I don't think we're missing any detail. I've added a little more headroom, and removed an egregious stick-on Harris & Ewing label, which was just translucent enough that I could see the tiny bit of dress covered by it through it, so no real detail was lost.
