Original – Anti-slavery and women's rights campaigner Lucretia Mott.
Reason
On the downside, this is very late in her life. She's probably over 80 in this photo. On the upside, she was still working right up to the end of her life. As the article quotes Jacobs as saying, "When Mott died in 1880, she was widely judged by her contemporaries... as the greatest American woman of the nineteenth century". Signature is pretty obviously hers, when compared to other examples.

You could argue a few, but since she was arguing for political change, Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political seems to make sense.
