  Other Bain/LOC photos of visiting British Suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst, addressing (or attempting to address) a rowdy, noisy crowd of young males beside the Subtreasury Building on Wall Street, New York City, on November 27, 1911: With Mrs. Pankhurst in the open car are Hariot Stanton Blatch, U. S. Suffragist leader, and the venerable Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. Mrs. Pankhurst made a return visit to America in October, 1913. On that occasion, foolish U. S. immigration officials decided to bar entry to her, holding her at Ellis Island for deportation. This created a cause celebre, and required the personal intervention of U. S. President Woodrow Wilson to admit her for an already-scheduled lecture tour. The publicity helped suffragist fundraising enormously.
