Original – British suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst in 1913
Reason
Very notable British suffragette; good-quality photo, with the chiaroscuro effect so beloved at the time.

FP category for this image
Tricky; but perhaps Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political, given it was essentially a campaign to change the law, and she worked in politics after suffrage passed.

  • My reaction is, it doesn't really add anything relevant to the content of the photo, and it's a little bit distracting. If this were being used to illustrate types of early 20th C. photos, etc., that would be different.
    Definitely a face with a lot of character. Sca (talk) 18:14, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
