    See the neighboring picture www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3350950355/ for another formidable woman wearing the same badge. Does anyone recognize it?

    swanq, I tried looking at the uncompressed tiff version at the persistent URL, but no dice on deciphering the badge.

    Mrs. Gillespie and Mary Diehl were apparently policewomen in Philadelphia, assigned to work in railroad stations. 2 May 1913, Oswego Daily Times: Philadelphia Has Two Policewomen They Are Stalwart Amazons And Able to Cope with Any Males of the "Masher" Type Philadelphia, May 2--Commuters scurrying through the Broad Station today on their respective ways to the daily grind stopped, craned their necks and stood aghast at the curious spectacle of a large woman dressed in a military cut blue suit, with her hand firmly upon the shoulder of a well dressed young man, escorting him hurriedly out of the waiting room. [....] The "lady copper" was Mrs. Mary Diehl, a superbly formed 1913 Amazonian style of woman, with pleasing but stern features and a military bearing. She is on the Broad street station beat and her chief work is to protect young girls and women against the glances and advances of roysterers and mashers. [....] Philadelphia has two such policewomen. They have been on the force about four weeks. They are Mrs. Diehl and Miss L. M. Gillespie. Both are detailed at railroad stations but they have full authority to act as guardians of the peace in all sections of the city alike. They are provided with revolver, black-jack, nippers, and badge, all identical with those of other members of the Philadelphia police force. [....] Found this as a pdf online but it has a long link... search "L. M. Gillespie" and badge to find the link.

    I was in the crowd representing my school, carrying an American flag. Never would have guessed that I'd end up as an American citizen.

    I've been experimenting with processing these in an AI based graphics program. For point of reference, see www.flickr.com/photos/terryballard/34939046000/in/album-7...
