- Reason
- I have a vague memory - remembering I have been on wikibreak for two years - that last time I checked, there wasn't anything really good for Carrie Chapman Catt. Now there's loads and loads. I can only presume that the Library of Congress went back and uploaded higher-resolution scans of things. This isn't the lead in her article, because facing right is awkward for a lead image. I might go back and do the lead image as well sometime, but I do think this is the best image of her out there, full of character and liveliness.
I have taken the liberty of changing it from awkward truncated oval to rectangular - given the chiascuro lighting effects popular around 1910-1920, this really doesn't involve much guesswork; everything fades out to darkness at the bottom anyway, and there's basically no detail there anyway.
- Articles in which this image appears
- Carrie Chapman Catt, National American Woman Suffrage Association. I'm sure it could be used elsewhere.
- FP category for this image
- Any objections to Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political? It's going to be some subdivision of People, anyway.

- Comment If you think it's the best image of her, would it not be better places as a the lead image in the main article? Mattximus (talk) 22:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
- @Mattximus: There is the idea that faces should be looking towards the article text. This means a right-facing image ideally should be on the left-hand side, which precludes it being the lead image. But there are reasons for it to be the lead as well - it's the clearest and easiest to interpret picture I could find of her. I'll leave it to others where it ends up, though.
