Aletta Jacobs

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 28 May 2019 at 06:50:05 (UTC)

Reason: Notable suffragette, and first woman to attend a university in the Netherlands, and at least amongst the first female physicians. Image is high-quality, and, while round may not be ideal, it's not bad at all. She's likely more notable in the Netherlands than the main Anglosphere, but diversity is a good thing.

Comment – what is the source? source link on file page shows some other image. Bammesk (talk) 11:15, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Think I got the permalink, https://hdl.handle.net/21.12105/80a39829-8e76-9435-8bd6-0167aa717d3a - it was roughly right before, but one of those relative links to searches that can change as more is added. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.5% of all FPs} 15:03, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – file description puts birth control first, not sure putting it first is a good idea, her article lists many other contributions. Bammesk (talk) 16:21, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added in her firsts. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.5% of all FPs} 21:09, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Since I asked Adam to work on a photo of her in the first place and it took me almost a year to find an image that would make a good candidate for restoration. In addition to her activism and medical practice in the Netherlands, Jacobs was an extremely important and influential international women's rights activist. Active in the leadership of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, as well as influential in the US contraception movement. Besides the archive of her records in the Netherlands, her library of personal books resides in the US. I am no expert of photography, but it appears to meet the FA criteria and is verifiable as being in the public domain. SusunW (talk) 22:05, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
