OriginalAlice Paul. After her PhD in Sociology she went on to get a law degree; she was a suffragette working in both Britain and America; she was one of the organisers of the first picket line at the White House - and was arrested for it, and endured brutal treatment as a result - but suffered it all for her noble cause; She got women's rights include in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (at the age of 72)... in short, an amazing woman.
Reason
It's a really impressively detailed image; Harris & Ewing would later become the largest photographic studio in the United States, and with pictures like this, it's not hard to see why. #10wikicommonsdays Day 3

FP category for this image
One could argue a few places, but as she was also head of the National Woman's Party, Wikipedia:Featured pictures/People/Political seems reasonable.
