Might be Harriet Burton Laidlaw (1873-1949) (Mrs. James Lee Laidlaw)? www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=4034 oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~sch00682

This is part of the women's suffrage activities on July 5, 1915.
The New York Times account of the day says the group going to Bedloe's (Liberty) Island was taken there aboard the yacht Tourist. I think that is where this photo was taken.

The Times article says that Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw participated in the ceremony, so that's who we have in this one. Mr. James Lees Laidlaw was also present, as President of the Men's League.

The Flyer on the flag mentions: Rev Anna Shaw digital.library.upenn.edu/women/eagle/congress/shaw.html Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt (who somewhat resembles the person on the left in this picture) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Chapman_Catt And quite possibly mentioned Max Eastman en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Eastman

Same women as this photo and others--just a different pose: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2478433644/ Jessie Stubbs, Rosalie Jones, and Ida Craft (in that order, here).
The Library of Congress said:
Thanks for deciphering the flyer! We'll add that info and the women's names, then reload the description.

Speaking at the suffrage meeting advertised on the flier seen here, Carrie Chapman Catt has a close connection to International Women's Day (IWD). In 1904, she was elected to the first board of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance at a meeting in Berlin and reelected in 1906 in Copenhagen. She promoted suffrage for women in her travels around the world in 1911-1912, stopping in South and East Africa, the Middle East, India, China, and many other places.
