    Is it this woman? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alva_Belmont

    Alva Belmont was quite a woman! I'm not sure if that's her, though.
  • Nathan Adams said:
    Looks like her to me!
  • swanq said:
    I agree that it looks like her. NYT article (August 15, 1912) at query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9B05E6DB113AE633A... suggests that August Belmont (my guess is that would be Alva's brother-in-law but possibly her father-in-law - -both were August) was on the list for the Grand Jury for the Rosenthal murder. [See comments for www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2423488718/] Alva Belmont was a widow by now and had taken on the suffragette cause, which might have included an interest in women being able to serve on juries. Attending such a trials may have been her cup of tea. She had been active in the 1911 strike, monitoring trials, and legislative aftermath of a tragic fire in a sweatshop (the Triangle Shirtwaist fire -- see www.gale.cengage.com/free_resources/whm/trials/triangle.htm).
  • The Library of Congress said:
